Introduction
John C. Goad, an Australian-based character actor, singer and interpreter, was raised in Papua New Guinea where he gained his interest in theatre. As a member of the various theatre groups he would tour and perform shows in English and Pidgin at Colleges around the country.
In 1979 John travelled to London to take up the position of Personal Assistant to the late British actor Patrick Cargill. He studied with Studio 68, London and was a founding member of Stage 80.
John (the son of "Jack" and Emily Goad of Papua New Guinea) has taught PNG Pidgin at the University of Sydney for the Youth Abroad Program, he is an accomplished film, stage and TV character actor, singer, and is also available for voice overs and translation work in Pidgin English. John has studied the Hindi language for a number of years.
