Johnny Walter

Johnny Walter, the son of a investigative-news producer and a biology professor, started pursuing acting at the age of 13 while growing up in Miami, FL. He attended New World School of the Arts, a performing arts high-school, and acted in a variety of theatrical productions ranging from "The Government Inspector" to "The Crucible"; where he would play the tragically flawed John Proctor. In 2000, following graduation, Johnny applied and was accepted into The Goodman Theatre School for his BFA. While there, he built up a diverse resume including roles in "Romeo and Juliet", "Brighton Beach Memoirs", and "Three Sister". He subsequently went on to perform and study in various workshops within the Chicago theatre community, working at theatre's from Chicago Shakespeare Theatre to the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.After pursuing theatre for over 10 years, Johnny decided to take a sabbatical from performing to travel and start to gain 'life-experience'. He ended up moving to be closer with his family in Austin, TX and learned a variety of skill-trades while retaining vast knowledge; such as becoming a welder, a teacher, a fish-monger, a clinical-assistant, and a carpenter. He believed that in order to fully achieve understanding about people, you have to experience what people do and who they are. After 3-4 years of living without his art, it was time to dive back into his passion.2010 was a good year for Johnny, not just because it was the year he decided to go back into the art-form he loved, but it was also the year he had his first film debut in the Horror-flick Boneboys (2012). Since then, Johnny's film and television career has taken off. Show less «
