JON'S ACTING ROLES
page last updated: May 22, 2007
Public Transportation (????)
In an interview with Pierre Robert of WMMR radio in Philadelphia on July 14, 2006, Jon spoke of upcoming projects including a movie with Queen Latifah which would begin filming in January 2007. In surfing the net, I found another interview which named the movie, as well as stated that the filming locations would be New York City and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
However, as no official announcement about the film was ever made, and the scheduled filming date has passed, it is not known if or when the film will be made.
