Shipp’s father was a pastor of a small church outside of Wake Forest, North Carolina. John attended Butler High School, and after matriculating went on to Indiana University. In 1980, he started to pursue an acting career after joining the daytime soap opera “Guiding Light”, playing the role of Dr. Kelly Nelson for four years, and would afterwards join “As the World Turns” in 1985 playing Douglas Cummings, which performance would earn him his first Daytime Emmy Award. More opportunities started opening up for John and his net worth started to increase as well, as he was also part of “Santa Barbara”, “One Life to Live” and “All My Children’.
