While attending Brown University in the 1970s, Dukakis was cast in Universal's Jaws 2.
He relocated to Hollywood and continued to work as an actor for the next 6 years.
He had substantial roles in the films Making Love, Delusion and Split Image and on television in Family Ties, Little House on the Prairie, Taxi, the Jim Jones docudrama, Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones and Three Sovereigns for Sarah.
He finished his career in New York working on the Broadway and Off-Broadway stage.
After retiring from acting, he secured a job in Washington, D.C., as a legislative assistant to U.S. Senator John Kerry in Kerry's first two years in office.
In 1987, when Michael Dukakis announced his intention to run for President of the United States, John left Washington and moved to Atlanta to run the Southern campaign prior to the Super Tuesday primaries.
Later, as the Democratic National Political Director, he campaigned nationally on behalf of the unsuccessful Dukakis–Bentsen ticket.
He is the son of Kitty Dukakis and John Chaffetz, a businessman, and the adoptive son of former Massachusetts Governor and 1988 Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis whom his mother married when he was five.
With the 1988 campaign over, John began work with an attorney in Boston named Bob Woolf who had built a significant international practice representing professional athletes.
John ran the music business management department and spent most of his time on a developing local act: New Kids on the Block.
Within several years the company grew and he was sent to Los Angeles to open an office there with an emphasis on working with other established and developing acts.
When he left the company in 1992, the company was also working with Boyz II Men and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.

In early 2002, Dukakis left Southpaw to take a position as an Executive Vice President of Overbrook Music, a music label as well as a full service management company owned and operated by Will Smith and his partner, James Lassiter.
