August
27, 2009: Three weeks before the premiere, CBS finally
releases the cast on their official web site. Here's John's
bio from there:
"John Fincher (25)
Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.
Occupation: Rocket Scientist
John Fincher claims “winning” is
his favorite hobby, and because of that he should have no
problem playing the game of SURVIVOR. Being a rocket scientist
probably will not hurt his chances either. This charmingly
cocky genius believes he possesses the analytical skills
necessary to take him far in the game while helping him create
a mastermind strategy. In addition to brains, he is a former
semi-pro soccer player, who is also going to pose a physical
threat in the game.
Fincher says that he is at his best during high
pressure situations and times of complete chaos. He finds
idiots or “unskilled” people
amusing, and has no problem telling them to their face. John
has traveled extensively in South America, Europe, South
Africa, and Canada, and he plans to use his experience of
dealing with people from diverse backgrounds to his best
advantage.
John is no stranger to creating conflict and thinks
it could work to his advantage in the game. Although, John
also believes his good looks and charm will help even out
his aggressive personality, especially with the ladies. He
also will not apologize living a privileged life and claims
that he will party his way around the world with his winnings.
John resides
in Santa Monica, Calif. His birth date is August 16th."
