Biography

Johnston grew up on a farm in Ponoka, Alberta, between Red Deer and Edmonton.

He played basketball in high school, earned a degree in business from Red Deer College and worked for a time with the Alberta Treasury Branch. Interested in a career as a fashion photographer, he moved to Toronto in the early 1980s and struggled to break into the industry before finding work as a runway model. After a few years, he had developed a taste for performing and returned to Alberta to study theatre at Red Deer College. He then earned a BFA from the University of Alberta's selective drama program.
