Broadway Actor John Cardoza Says He Was Robbed ‘at Gunpoint’ Before Show

John Cardoza, an actor starring in the Broadway adaptation of The Notebook, was robbed “at gunpoint” in a Dunkin’ Donuts in New York City on Sunday afternoon—around an hour before he was set to take the stage for a matinee performance.

Cardoza, 30, said in a post on his Instagram Story that a middle-aged Black man had approached him in the store and asked him for a dollar. “I offered to buy him lunch because I didn’t have cash on me, and it escalated from there very quickly,” he wrote. He added that the gunman “didn’t make off with anything irreplaceable.”

To allay any concern, Cardoza wrote in subsequent posts that, “I am fine,” and “I really am OK.”
