Ray Johnson

I am a classically trained actor, songwriter, musician, voice-over performer, and visual artist based in Brooklyn. I am non-binary and a transgender man, who will not be taking hormones, so I can effectively portray cis women along with trans men and non-binary characters. On screen I bring a warm, grounding, and focused energy; imagine a sibling of Bella Ramsey, Josh Hutcherson, and Liv Hewson (who sometimes uses a cane). I’m inspired by stories of fantastical adventure, wholesome romance, and intense drama. 

​

I am a meditation guide and dedicated daily meditator, and I naturally bring a queer and healing element into everything I do. With meditation I have radically transformed my mental health and relationship to my CPTSD - rewiring intrusive thoughts and developing self love. As a physically-disabled human, I am also passionate about making creative spaces accessible.

 

I received my degree in Acting and Ensemble Creation of Theatre in the International Performance Ensemble at Pace University, creating dozens of new theatrical pieces with dozens of groups since moving to NY in 2015. In 2025 I received my Certificate in Devising Theatre for Social Justice from Fringe Benefits. Within and beyond those programs, I have held the role of actor, co-playwright, songwriter, musician, director, assistant director, props designer, and producer.
