Cruella Star John McCrea Might Be New to Film, but He's Already an Accomplished Theater Actor

While attending Sylvia Young Theatre School, John got his first taste of the stage life at the age of 9, with a role in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the London Palladium. He was one of a group of children from his theater school attending auditions for numerous different roles, and he was the only one to receive a part out of the group. Throughout his training, he continued to appear in theater, racking up appearances in The King And I and as Friedrich in The Sound Of Music.
