 John Michael Stubbins is an Actor, Voice Talent (with over 600 character voices in his repertoire), Show Host, Writer & Producer. John was born in Little Rock, Arkansas but grew up mostly in Columbus, Ohio. After high school, John joined the United States Air Force, then worked in corporate America for several years while working on his degree in Accounting & Marketing.

It was 2011 when John was introduced to Mark Koch. A family member felt strongly that they would be a great fit to work together as a team in film. Mark had already produced “Lost in Space”, “Black Dog”, “The Perfect Game”, “Running the Sahara” and worked with Mel Gibson on P&A for “The Passion of the Christ”. In February 2017, Mark asked John to become his Vice President at Prelude Publishing. In 2019, Mark made John, Sr. VP of Development for Prelude Pictures.

John is currently working on projects in DC including a documentary with Tom Holman and Ken Paxton about you US southern border and immigration policies.

March 2020, John was challenged by David Padrusch (Mark Levin’s Executive Producer) to put together a pilot for a new show. Over 300 episodes/interviews later, “INDIVISIBLE with John Stubbins” has grown very rapidly, building a strong following on multiple social media platforms and digital television, where the show moved, starting in January 2023. The show will be expanding its reach on digital television, starting in January 2025, to over 100 million more homes.

John’s show, INDIVISIBLE with John Stubbins, also deals with investigative work that has come to John, thru a number of caring Americans that have real stories to tell – thru the show. Some of those are whistleblowers, some lead to further corruption investigation, some may be at the level of Treason. Regardless of the level of severity – the show investigates and then does all it can to bring that information to the people.
