Michael Johnston

Growing up in rural North Carolina, Michael Johnston discovered the world of voice acting in his early teens and lent his voice to many video games and cartoons from his home studio. He graduated high school early and moved to Chicago to further his acting study with classes at The Second City, which quickly led him to Los Angeles to start his on-camera career at the age of 18. First he booked the independent feature film Bornless Ones (2016). Then a co-star role on MTV's Awkward. (2011) led to a recurring regular role on MTV's hit series Teen Wolf (2011). Michael also starred in Slash (2016) which premiered at SXSW and found him playing opposite Hannah Marks, Michael Ian Black and Missi Pyle. Other television credits include Pure Genius (2016) (CBS), Supergirl (2015) (CW), The InBetween (2019) (NBC), and S.W.A.T. (2017) (CBS). Recently he starred in the Lionsgate film Endangered Species (2021) opposite Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell, and Philip Winchester. All the while, Michael continued his work behind the mic. He's the series lead of Netflix's animated series Zak Storm (2016), he voices Dante in Marvel's Avengers (2020), and most recently he can be heard as Francis Vendetti, the protagonist of Annapurna Interactive's The Artful Escape (2021), which won a BAFTA Games Award. Michael's work in animation also sparked a passion for singing. A vocal tenor with an emphasis on singer-songwriter pop, Michael plays guitar and in 2022 released his third single "Gravity". Above all this, Michael is a certified goofball.
