Actor John Gluck On Regular Joe

One might also see John as Lucas on the other side of the story. Here, John Lucas’s character is identical to Jenny’s disabled son.
So, these two roles are John’s first time and first big role and definitely not an easy first task. Essentially playing these two parts John makes a convincing character in each. And while doing this, he not only surpassed his acting skills but also his singing ability.

Although his father has been an associate working in instructional design at Booz Allen Hamilton for the past 15 years. Patriark studied MA in Education and Instructional Design at George Mason University and BS in International Business at Messiah University.
Actor John Gluck Disability
Like Christopher and Lucas, actor John Gluck is also disabled in real life. Reportedly, when John was born, he was diagnosed with a rare condition called collagen VI muscular dystrophy. This disease is said to affect the skeletal muscles which are the muscles used for movement and the connective tissue that provides strength and flexibility to the skin, joints, and other structures throughout the body.
So, John is one of 10 Americans with this rare muscular dystrophy.
In John’s case, his parents took him through months of doctor visits, tests and online research before finding a diagnosis for their son. In the process, they launched their research on the Cure CMD (Cure Congenital Muscular Dystrophy) website.
And for them, the hardest part of getting a diagnosis is finally finding out the disease is progressive.
Ever since John never slept at night without a cast, brace, or feeding tube attached to him.
In 2018, John could walk with a walker and braces but today in 2021, he has switched to a wheelchair. The muscles in John’s body were slowly losing their strength. A few years ago doctors predicted that he would suffer from scoliosis and breathing problems.
John’s parents have been racing to help him gain as much strength as possible now with functional therapy, swimming therapy and equine therapy to reduce future health complications.
However, none of this ever stopped John from being determined and passionate about life and his skills. For such a boy, his spirit has become an inspiration to many people.
Several organizations, friends and family have come forward to help John with his condition.
TOM (Tikkun Olam Makers): DC Makeathon at Nova Labs, Max Painley and Noam Platt form a team to tackle John’s mobility.
Believing it would be great for John to be independent, TOM made him an accessible shelf, a shelving system that would rise and fall to the correct height, and then slide out for John to reach. Since then John has been self-supporting enough not to wait for others to get him something.
