Levene was working in a men's clothing store on [[Regent Street]] in [[London]] when he met {{w|Telly Savalas}}, who encouraged him to sign up as an extra for {{wi|The Dirty Dozen}}. However, Levene found himself unable to take part in the film as he was not a member of the British actors' union [[Equity]], but despite this setback he became interested in acting. On joining Equity, he discovered there was already a John Woods registered and so adopted the {{w|stage name|professional name}} John Levene. | Levene was working in a men's clothing store on [[Regent Street]] in [[London]] when he met {{w|Telly Savalas}}, who encouraged him to sign up as an extra for {{wi|The Dirty Dozen}}.
