About Johnny

I am an award-winning Latinx actor/director from Phoenix, AZ and now currently living in Los Angeles. I started off as a film development intern for Panay Films (Wedding Crashers) at Disney Studios and transitioned into acting shortly after. On the acting side I've trained at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, Margie Haber Studios and the master classes at Anthony Gilardi, Zak Barnett and the Screen Actors System. I've guest-starred in several network TV shows, including NCIS, Hawaii Five-0, Magnum PI and Scorpion. This also includes recurring roles on Queen of the South, Insatiable on Netflix and I will be seen on the third season of Narcos: Mexico and the final 7th season of Bosch on Amazon.

My independent film work includes the award-winning indie feature, "I Am Still Here," which has won several awards worldwide including "Best Feature" at the 2017 Nice International Film Festival in France. I received several nominations and awards for my portrayal as the dark and disturbing lead antagonist in the film, winning a "Breakthrough Performance" Award at the Pasadena International Film Festival, "Best Lead Actor" Award at the Bare Bones Film Festival, "Best Actor" at the Peoples Film Festival in New York and "Best Actor" at the Indie Gathering Festival and "Best Actor" at the Beaufort International Film Festival and many others.

As a filmmaker, I've written and directed several short films. My last short film, a dark comedy called "Papua," recently finished its festival run and won several awards and nominations. Including Best Comedy Short at the Chandler International Film Festival, a Gold Remi Award at WorldFest Houston and a Platinum Reel Award at the Nevada International Film Festival. I am also the creator and co-host of the podcast, "Surviving Hollywood," talking to film/TV industry guests about their career and experiences while trying to "survive" in Hollywood. The podcast has featured Emmy winners and Oscar nominees. In addition, I am also one of the creators of Real Live Cinema, a platform where we film a short film every week all in one take as it is streamed "live" through Facebook.
