‏Johnny Michaels‏

Johnny, continued through life neglecting the 'Hollywood dream' and settled for a constant, reliable future, first serving in the military, then graduating from both Pepperdine University and University of La Verne with degrees in business, and finally entering the world of entrepreneurship. But in the summer of 1998 Johnny lost it all when he was wrongfully sentenced to a prison term. He lost his wife, his house, his children, his business, and his future.

Once released from prison Johnny was reduced to living on the streets while attempting to get his life back in order. He re-entered the world of entrepreneurship and took odd jobs which led him to do some background work on a film set. Johnny got a taste right then and there for acting and went home that night with a new life plan. He was determined to pursue the dream; he wanted to own the world, his currency acting, his inspiration: Al Pacino.

Johnny had always been a rebel, so it is no surprise that he has been cast for various 'tough guy' roles in: Alias, CSI: Miami, The OC, Nip/Tuck, Passions, and many other shows. When he was cast for stunt work in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels, he didn't hold back receiving nominations for his work on both Pirates 1 at the World s Stunt Man Awards, & 3 at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Johnny's determination and perseverance has proved to be a successful plan in getting his life to come full circle. He enjoys benevolently giving back to the community and frequently visits schools giving motivational speeches, in hopes that he can inspire children to reach for their dreams. He is getting ready to break into the next level of his career, with nominations under his belt, confidence in his acting ability, life experience as his tool box, and an ambition that drives him daily to progress deeper into his dream. Who says dreams can't come true?
