Born July 30, 1975, inHalifax,Nova Scotia, Reardon studied Theatre Arts at theLir Academy of Dramatic Arts inDublin, Ireland as well asimprov atThe Second City inLos Angeles,California, andToronto,Ontario. While atMount Allison University, Reardon considered pursuing a career in medicine, but growing up, his dream was to become a professional athlete. He attendedMount Allison from 1993 to 1997, graduating with aB.S. degree inBiology.

He started acting in 2001 and has appeared in several TV shows and movies, such asTru Calling as Randall Thompson,White Chicks as Heath,Scary Movie 4 as Jeremiah andMerlin's Apprentice as Jack. From 2012 to 2014, he had roles on both CBC'sArctic Air and Showcase'sContinuum.

OnArctic Air, John Reardon portrayed Blake Laviolette, a young, good-looking "Top Gun-type" pilot who was secretly involved with his coworker and fellow pilot Krista Ivarson. According to Reardon, his character is "a fascinating duality because Blake is a bit of a cocky hotshot pilot who, I think, just found himself in the north andYellowknife as a bit of a stepping stone to moving to what he probably considered his dream job. However, once he gets there, he starts to realize that there’s something about that part of the country that gets to people. In fact, it starts to get to him and he begins to fall in love with the north, followed by Krista (Pascale Hutton). The priorities he had before all this end up changing and Blake becomes almost a prouder Yellowknifer than anyone else."^[2]

OnContinuum, Reardon played Greg Cameron, the husband of the main character, Kiera Cameron. According to Reardon, "Greg on the surface appears to be a clean-cut family man who is a respectable law-abiding member of society. The memory of Greg, along with their son Sam, is an anchor for Kiera when she is transported back in time and taken away from her family. However, as season one progresses, it appears that Greg may not be what he seems."^[3]

In 2019, Reardon first appeared on the Canadian hit seriesHudson & Rex as recently-divorced Charlie Hudson, a detective for St John's Police Department. His sidekick and fellow member of the SJPD is a K-9 dog named Rex who had lost his human partner in a case they were working. Charlie was the only one at the scene that was able to get Rex to step away from his partner's body, and the two formed an unbreakable bond as they began to work cases together. He has revealed his take on the pair's chemistry and why Charlie and Rex get along so well, "Charlie, he’s looking for some companionship since he’s on his own. Rex fills that void for him and they work really well together."^[4] Reardon reprised his role as Charlie for an additional three seasons after the first season was a success. Following the finale of season 4, the show has been renewed for season 5, which premiered in September 2022.^[5]
