Actor, writer, director, and musician John Patrick Amedori chatted about starring in the series “Three Women” on the streaming platform Starz.

‘Three Women’

He opposite Shailene Woodley, Gabrielle Creevy, and Betty Gilpin in the drama series “Three Women” on STARZ. The series, based on Lisa Tadeo’s bestselling book, follows Gia (Woodley) a writer who is grieving the death of her family and sets out to interview three “ordinary” women to tell their stories of love, life, and loss. 

John Patrick portrays Jack, a scene stealer and Gia’s love interest, who would do anything for her. The series premiered on September 13 on Starz, and it will air through October and November of 2024.

“I love how free my character is,” he admitted. “After reading the scripts he was in and seeing his arc, it was really easy for me to settle in my instincts.”

“I went into every scene with two things in mind: one that he would do anything for Gia, since he is madly in love with her, and the other one is that he doesn’t think in terms of strategy,” he explained.

“This is the most freeing I’ve felt as an actor in a really long time,” he acknowledged.

“This screenplay taught me that I love life and love,” he said. “That was a big thing for me. It was a very cathartic experience living vicariously through such a pure love, and that is something to achieve.”

Other acting projects

Also in television, John Patrick is often recognized for his starring role as Gabe Mitchell in Netflix’s critically acclaimed original series “Dear White People.”

He also recurred as Blake Lively’s love interest on season two of “Gossip Girl,” and went on to star in VH1’s “Hindsight,” and has appeared on ABC’s “The Good Doctor,” NBC’s “Aquarius,” and Fox’s “Vanished.”

While working in film and television keeps John Patrick busy, one of his biggest passions is music. He regularly writes and records original tracks, with some of his songs being featured in his on-screen projects including “Dear White People” and his film “Stick It.”

“I write music every day, and I enjoy it,” he revealed. “I am a pretty creative person. Music is an all-day thing for me. My brain is constantly making melodies.”

As a multi-instrumentalist, he is currently writing songs on the ukulele. Over the years, he has played in bands and written in several genres including Thrash Metal and Shoegaze – and notes some of his biggest influences are Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Pixies, and Daniel Johnston. 

“I grew up listening to Sonic Youth and Pixies. In fact, my favorite album of all time is ‘Daydream Nation’ by Sonic Youth,” he said.

The digital age

On being a part of the digital age, he said, “For me, it is a part of the world changing ang going along with it. The digital age has changed the way we perceive media and the way we watch movies, television, and consume stories.”

“That has been a huge difference. I’ve actually stumbled across a lot of movie ticket stubs that I’ve saved,” he noted.

“You are in an ever-evolving state of affairs, and I am going to roll with it for as long as I can,” he added.

Stage of his life

On the title of the current chapter of his life, he revealed, “High Tides and the Moon Rise.”

If he were to have any superpower, he would either be “Gambit from ‘X-Men’ or Nightcrawler.”

Favorite mottos to live by

On his favorite motto to live by, he said, “Always stay a fan.” “Something that inspires me is when people really enjoy what they do and they enjoy the process. If you don’t enjoy the process, then I think it’s time to find something else to do,” he said.
