    John Keating

    Mr. Keating began studying at the Brian Cutler Actors Studio since 1999.  He quickly jumped into helping behind the scenes during classes.  From working the cameras to manning the edit booth, Mr. Keating had found a way to assist his beloved studio.  When the studio moved addresses to Burbank, CA from Kansas City, MO in the mid 2010’s, he rejoined his beloved crew and has been instrumental in day-to-day operations ever since.
