Clayton J. Johnson

Reigning in from Connecticut, Clayton is a theater and film artist based in New York City. Ever since dropping his respective sports to (ironically) be in high school musical, he has been chasing what makes performance special. From working with fellow students on film, to performing Shakespeare in England, the art of acting, and purpose of performance decided not to leave.

​

As an actor, most of his work focuses on making the unseen feel seen. Through highlighting powerful characters by opposing them as Creon in Antigone, or through depicting a depressed teenager in his final moments in the short film Cool Off, Clayton makes it his goal to bring authenticity and humanity to the roles he portrays.

​

When off the stage and screen he can be found visiting his parents in Connecticut snuggling with his twelve cats, watching movies with his dad, or doing anything (with a can of Diet Coke in his hands).
