Jack Bradford

Jack Bradford (born July 26, 1959) is an American / Australian stage actor and director. He is best known in Brisbane for founding Brisbane Junior Theatre which presented its first production The Pirates of Penzance in April 2001.

Bradford, the son of Gerald and Rose Bradford, was born in 1959 at Milton, Florida, in the USA. His father was a Navy captain, which meant that Jack and his seven siblings were regularly on the move.

His first stage role was Jesus in Godspell working alongside Kathy Najimy in 1975.

Upon completion of a Bachelor of Arts in theatre, he moved to Brisbane, Australia in 1988.

Jack was married to Australian Deborah Onions, whom he had met on a visit to Australia in 1986. From 1989 to 1993, he was the senior pastor of the Christian Praise Centre in Glen Innes, New South Wales.

In 1993, Jack, Debbie and their three boys moved back to Brisbane, which is where they currently reside.
