Johnny Thames is a Chicago-based filmmaker, writer, voiceover artist and actor. As a child, he often watched movies and animated shows, almost hyper-fixating on them, he also would do random, amusing voices around the house. From an early age, he wanted to be a filmmaker. By 14, he fell in love with acting, studying under Stacey Flaster and Adria Dawn. In his current space, he has studied writing, directing, and acting while learning trades such as location sound, voice acting and producing.
​
He has been fortunate to intern with The American Pavilion at Cannes and at O'Connor Casting; his filmography already includes seven short films, which he directed, wrote, and produced. He hopes to carve out his own niche while helping to create a world that people feel comfortable leaving behind.
