Hey there, I’m Jared Johnston. I’m an actor working and living in NYC and LA.

I moved to NYC in October of 2005 to pursue my dreams on the stage. Within weeks of arrival, I found myself playing Prospero in an off-broadway adaptation of The Tempest put up by the Millenium Talent Group. A week later, I was also playing Oberon in their adaptation of A Midsummer Night's Dream that was running in rep.

After an injury to my voice. I switched to the fabulous world of TV/Film. To be honest I floundered for a few years, landing a role here and there. I was young and naive to the business. Having no real training outside of college speech and debate, I relied mainly on raw talent. My representation was getting me in the room, but I wasn't booking. Then, my fabulous agent decided to change paths and mold careers as a manager. I booked a few roles with her replacement, but I wasn't happy. BOOM! UGA Talent came into my life. They had this culture of betterment and support like I've never felt before. Everyone in the agency cheers each other on. It's amazing.

I have spent the last four years taking classes and booking role after role. It feels like a perfect storm of agent hustle, growing into my hairline, and classes from The Folster Studio. I also doesn't hurt to have Bohemia Group managing my career either.

I've worked on almost every major network, feature films, indie projects, webseries, etc, and it's not getting old. I want to be doing this for the rest of my life.
