John Stamos studied at the John F. Kennedy High School, but during his teenage years worked for his father as well. However, his parents supported his music and acting ambitions, and Stamos debuted on television screens in 1982 in “General Hospital”, a medical drama that had first aired on screens in 1963. For his role of Blackie Parrish, John Stamos received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. Prior to his big breakthrough, he also starred in a television series entitled “Dreams”, as well as a situation comedy called “You Again?”, and sometimes performed with the rock band “The Beach Boys”, even appearing in the film called “The Beach Boys: An American Family”, which was directed by Jeff Bleckner.
