Brian Eric Johnson
Actor, Writer, Director, Producer
Brian is an actor, writer, filmmaker born and raised in Sacramento, California. While completing a degree in Theatre Arts at Sacramento City College, he performed on stage across the city. After continuing his studies of Film and Drama at San Diego State University, he moved to Los Angeles to fulfill his career aspirations. Brian has worked successfully as an actor, writer, and producer both on stage and in film. Testing his theatre chops in a new city, Brian wore all three hats on several stage productions in the NOHO arts district. These projects included, 'Games', 'Pieces', and the critically acclaimed 'That's My Desire'. 'Desire', a harsh prison drama, became a successful fund-raiser for Inner City Youth during performances at LATC. Brian was acknowledged citywide as "Best Lead Actor" by reviewplays.com for his work in "The Dolly."
As Brian switched his focus to film, he continued to act and produce from his own screenplays. Early projects included the 16mm short 'Daydream Believer', and the feature 'Rites of Spring'. His film, the 35mm 'Ranchero', co-starring Danny Trejo, was awarded "Best of Festival" at Indie Fest USA. The script garnered him the "Best Screenplay" award at the S.E.N.E. Film, Music & Art Festival.
Brian worked as a multi-hyphenate on the feature 'Mobster', where he's credited as writer, producer, director, and actor.
With several projects in development, Brian continues to create content that he hopes will move, entertain, and inspire his audience.
