Stewart Johnson(VII)
- Additional Crew
- Actor
Born in Madera, California on Wednesday in February, he grew up in Madera County in the foothills of the Yosemite Valley in a place called Raymond. He attended Raymond-Knowles Elementary until his family moved to Louisiana. While living in Raymond the elementary school was asked to have students read for The Giant of Thunder Mountain(1990) starring Richard Kiel. Although he didn't get the part, he was able to see movie magic at a young age when they were asked to come back to watch a scene and ride the train in Yosemite. He later met Richard Kiel at a Little League Baseball game between his brother Richard's nephew.
After leaving California, he would attend high school and college in Louisiana. In high school he played trombone in the marching band and his love for music grew even more. After graduation he decided to put off college and never thought he would find Hollywood in north Louisiana. It would be this time off between high school and his decision to go to the college that he did that would provide the stepping stone for his foray into television. Between Music Theory and Theatre as an elective he chose Theatre, as he had already done music, and wanted to branch out. In Theatre he learned to write, direct, stage manage, build sets, and act. It was because of his determination that when the producers of Duck Dynasty(2012) were looking for students to work, his Theatre professor asked if he wanted to work on a TV show and he said yes, moving all of his coursework online and becoming a PA for DD. He would then go on to work at the Duck Commander warehouse and graduate college in 2014.
