NEW YORK — John F. Kennedy Jr. may have a brighter future on stage than in a courtroom.
The assistant prosecutor, who twice has flunked the bar exam, plays the guitar and sings in the movie “A Matter of Degrees,” which is scheduled to open in Europe but has no U.S. distributor, according to the May 21 issue of People.
The son of the slain President, who must pass the bar exam on his third try in July or lose his $30,000-a-year job, made his professional acting debut opposite Christina Haag in “Winners” in an off-off-Broadway theater in 1988.
“He is the finest young actor I have seen in 12 years,” said the theater’s operator, Nye Heron.
