Olivia Johnson
Hello, my name is Olivia Johnson. I am an actress, writer, director, producer, photographer, and artist. I started acting at eight; however, it wasn't until I was 15 that I realized I wanted to pursue acting professionally. Since officially launching my career, I have performed at the Detroit Opera House, received two nominations for the Sutton Foster Awards, written and produced both a play and a documentary, and performed at the International Thespian Festival.
Although I cherish these accomplishments, what drives me to pursue acting wholeheartedly is my desire to invite others to experience—loudly and boldly in public—the emotions that society often tells us to process in private. Emotions such as grief, depression, and anxiety, along with their all-encompassing physical effects, have been dehumanized when, in fact, they are utterly human responses to chaos. Through my work, I aim to acknowledge and challenge these negative connotations while portraying the natural intensity of human emotions.
I'm chasing truth, connection, and the magic that exists between silence and speech. My goal is simple yet profound: to make you feel something real.
