Since his days cavorting around Hollywood with Christina Applegate, Johnathon Scaech has been working hard in Tinsel Town. He has over one hundred film and TV credits under his belt as an actor, but he has also worn the hats of both producer and screenwriter. Schaech has been working almost nonstop on some project or another since his debut in 1993.
Yet even decades into his profession, Schaech is still hitting career firsts. It was announced on January 30, 2024, that he was making his first lead role in a series debut on April 7, 2024, when “Blue Ridge: The Series” premiered. Schaech is reprising his role in the film “Blue Ridge,” which predates the TV series. The show is a crime procedural taking place in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
“We are thrilled to have Johnathon return to the world of BLUE RIDGE to further the character’s journey across a full-length series,” showrunner Gary Wheeler told the Broadway World. “In his first foray as a series lead, Johnathon’s performance is amazing. He is sharp and intuitive in this role, bringing grit and believability to Sheriff Wise’s character and to the story arc of each episode.”
