Johnny Smith hails from Houston, Texas, where he studied theater at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in film before landing in Los Angeles. Since being in LA, he has acted in over 35 commercials, and written, acted in, and directed numerous short films. He is an avid fan of comedy and tries to share that through his crude collage work. He is attending Antioch University, getting his Master's in Clinical Psychology. When he isn’t filming a Razzie Award-winning worthy lip sync video, the self-proclaimed “pervARTist” enjoys image manipulation while listening to episodes of The Howard Stern Show or half-watching The Real Housewives of Blah Blah.
