Jon Mullich (born 1961 in Los Angeles, California) American actor and playwright who played Gloucester in Reza Abdoh's vision of "King Lear" and Abel Drugger in "The Alchemist" at the Globe Playhouse among other roles before achieving recognition for his performance in the title role of Mark Ringer's production of "Hamlet" in Los Angeles (praised by the Los Angeles Times [Los Angeles Times, "Stage Beat," November 12, 1988] for its "touches of gallows humor and mocking fatalism"), the first theatrical production produced under the Actors Equity Association 99-seat theater plan [Drama-Logue, "Jon Mullich's Hamlet," November 3-9, 1988] .

His award-winning adaptation of Carlo Goldoni's farce "A Servant of Two Masters" moved the action of the play to Prohibition-era Chicago, in which Mullich also played the role of Truffaldino Bottachio as a Brooklyn wise guy in the premiere production, a performance that Back Stage West [Back Stage West, "Reviews," June 28, 2001] said "keeps the audience roaring with laughter at his shameless mugging."

He has since excelled in such roles as Angelo in "Measure for Measure" (of which the LA Weekly [LA Weekly, "Measure for Measure," February 15-21, 2002] wrote ""this staging of Shakespeare's tragicomic treatise of sexual politics shines on the merits of the marvelously austere, yet emotionally vulnerable, Jon Mullich"), the villainous Lord Grizzle in Dennis Gersten's production of "The Author's Thumb" (adapted from the works of Henry Fielding), Thomas Diaforus in "The Imaginary Invalid", Demetrius in "A Midsummer Night’s Dream" opposite Kelie McIver as Titania, and Malvolio in "Twelfth Night", as well as appearances on the television show "Totally Hidden Video". His most recent work as a playwright is "The Special Award", a drama about film legend D.W. Griffith.
