Jesse Johnson(III)
- Actor
- Producer
A native of Aspen, Colorado, Jesse Johnson currently lives in Los
Angeles. The son of actors
Don Johnson and
Patti D'Arbanville, Jesse combines
his athleticism and love of the outdoors with his creativity, balancing
weight training, snowboarding and ice hockey with song writing - the
multi-instrumentalist is presently in the studio recording an album -
and most recently, developing a screenplay.
Jesse Johnson starred in Chapman (2013),
an indie filmed on location in and around his hometown of Aspen,
Colorado. Also starring
Christopher Masterson
(American History X (1998))
and Christine Woods
(Flashforward (2009),
Perfect Couples (2010)),
"Chapman" is a searing glimpse at adolescent love, wounded
relationships and facing the wreckage of a checkered past. The spring
of 2011 delivered Jesse his first role in a major network pilot,
playing top real estate agent Adam Mann in NBC's "A Mann's World",
written and directed by
Michael Patrick King
(Sex and the City (1998)).
In late 2010 Jesse filmed
¿Para qué sirve un oso? (2011)
("What's a Bear for?'), which debuted at the Berlin Film Festival and
was released theatrically in the spring of 2011. Co-starring alongside
Javier Cámara'
(Talk to Her (2002)) and
Geraldine Chaplin, Jesse stars as
"Vincent," the naive assistant to a reclusive and passionate zoologist.
Shot entirely on location in northern Spain, the film not only
showcases Johnson's versatility and comedic timing, but his fluency in
Spanish. Prior, Jesse completed filming
The Back-up Bride (2011),
a romantic comedy set in Texas. Jesse is "Bubba," a character who
provides comic relief as the best friend of the intended groom. Jesse
also starred in the Paramount Digital Entertainment production of
"Circle of 8", which ran exclusively on Myspace.com. The Mountain
Dew-sponsored webisodes aired over a series of weeks, resulting in a
noticeable spike in return visits for the site.
Johnson's additional credits include a starring role in Dreamtime's
Over (2010), a supernatural thriller shot over two plus months on
location in Melbourne, Australia and directed by
George Miller
(The Man from Snowy River (1982)),
the lead in the drama, My Life: Untitled (2011) and the major motion
picture Redline (2009). His television
appearances include
Nash Bridges (1996),
_' Law & Order: LA' and a role in
the 2003 TNT Award-winning original drama
Word of Honor (2003).
