Johnson
- Wayne W. Johnson won the award for "Best Villain" for his role as "Cornelius" in the horror / comedy film "Night of Something Strange" (Hurricane Bridge Entertainment) at the 2017 Toxic Film Festival (TOXFF).
- Back in 2012, Wayne W. Johnson played the lead role of a school bus driver for an Industrial instructional video for beginner bus drivers for First Student in Syracuse, NY. This was a gig he got thru AMS Models & Talent and was filmed by Otto Media. In this role, his biggest concern was in regards to the safety of the kids on his bus-a far cry from roles like Cornelius (Night of Something Strange) or Dracula (Tales of Dracula).
- Wayne W. Johnson won the "Best Actor" award for his role as "Dracula" in the Classic Horror Film "Tales of Dracula: Dracula Meets The Wolfman" (Wolfbain Productions) at The Monster Channel Film Festival in 2024.
- Wayne W. Johnson was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" award for his role as "The Man In Black" in the Horror Anthology Film "Cryptids" (Mystery Library Productions) at The Horror Hound Film Festival in 2023.
- I have fun in whatever role I'm doing. To me, having fun is part of the creative process. The worst day acting, for me, is better than the best day doing 9 to 5.
- Always bring an extra set of clean underwear with you on set in case crafty is having a bad day.
- I don't subscribe to the acting method of every role is basically you and whatever the role is, you're basically playing you-regardless of role background. That type of acting has it's place and there are several major actors known for that per se, but that's never appealed to me. Now, if you can play a role that different than you, yet still able to put in a little of "you" into it to show some "flavor"-while still being true to the role-that's different. But a touch of flavor-not the whole damn bottle (HA!).
- Is there a particular genre that I prefer to work in...how about one where I don't get injured (HA!)
- I'm my worst critic, so it's rare for me to watch myself in a film and be 100% satisfied with how I acted.
