Johnny is in the Mary-Kate and Ashley movie "Winning London" as a contestant and stars in the film "Palo Alto" with fellow "The O.C." star Autumn Reeser.
Johnny: (about his roles) It's close to home. There's something about it which is really like, I didn't like, it's sort of like reveal your insecurities, your awkwardness, you know. We were like, nope no make-up. Acne is going to come through. You're dorky. You're never cool guy
Johnny: (about his character in "Palo Alto") He's like the epitome of me at fifteen, honestly. He's just so awkward, uncomfortable in his own skin… It's liberating, because you're not trying to do anything. You really don't have to worry about looking cool. You don't have to worry about posing or lighting or making a weird face when you laugh.
Johnny: I've never been part of the inception of a show that I've truly felt attached to. I'm sure if I did, then I'd be terrified… I'm comfortably analytical about it.
