Johnny's career spans over 35 films, 15 TV shows & multiple stage productions.  

​

Born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. to undocumented Latino parents, Johnny caught the acting bug when he was cast in his elementary school’s 'Feliz Navidad' X-mas play.  Not only was his portrayal of Rabbit #3 critically hailed (wink, wink), he deeply felt how everyone was in that theater for the same reason.  They all came to experience the play together.  All the differences of race, class, gender, age, nationality, language, etc. dissipated the moment the show started, and he was hooked for life.  

​

Memorable credits:  Outrageous Fortune, The Hard Way, ER, Bowfinger, Find Me Guilty, Side Effects, Saint X, The Equalizer, SPIC, Ray Donovan, And Just Like That..., and The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel.  Directors include: Frank Oz, Steven Soderbergh, John Badham, Sidney Lumet, Dee Rees and Michael Bay. 

​

Wanting to represent a wider range of stories, Johnny started writing & producing. 

​

While he enjoys protest art, what he really loves is uniting different people.  Whether those connections occur because we're sitting next to a stranger in a theater, or we start talking about a show we like (or maybe we agree on how much we hate THAT actor) -- whatever the cause -- bridging all kinds of different people with varied POV's and unrelated lifestyles is what really makes Johnny tick.

 

Whatever the genre, Johnny endeavors to use storytelling as a tool to entertain, question and ultimately unite us all.
