About Me

I'm an actor and a filmmaker. Yep, that's what I do. Oh yeah, I also teach martial arts. Ok... I act in Hollywood films, television, and independent films, and I also direct, write, produce, etc. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with my degree in film in 2006. Don't really know what else to say about myself, but maybe this page will say a lot, haha. If you wanna know more, shoot me a message. Something I can't wait for is that in 2009 I am directing and starring in the feature film version of my script "Innocent's Way". For a promotional preview of my script, check out www.innocentsway.com. For my personal website, check out www.derekwaynejohnson.com. Thanks!
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
