Born in New Jersey to the parents of Marion Jack & Delma Mae Harvill, Johnny was raised in Conyers Georgia. His perhaps biggest lesson in life was the unfairness of prejudice. He was the only "Yankee" among 100's of "wish to be Confederates" whom didn't appreciate his invasion of the Rockdale county school system. The isolation he endeared on the playground was carried on into his home life ,as even though he had 5 brothers ,the ages differ greatly and they all live a sparsely inhabited area of the county. The school picked them up last in the morning and dropped them off first in the afternoon ,leaving Johnny with very little knowledge of the lives of his contemporaries. He learned to live in a fantasy world mostly of his creation. He eventually became labeled as a non-conformist, which to him is above all else an honor. Johnny promoted his view of the world through short stories, poems and songs from almost the very beginning. Johnny began he acting training at 59 and soon became an student of GregAlan Williams ,attending his Actors Breakthrough school and then becoming a member of Alan Artist a new agency started up by GregAlan in 2013. Johnny's first video audition with this new agency secured him a part in the up and coming feature film "Taken 3".
