Today on Too Opinionated, we visit with actor Derek Johns.

In 2015, Derek made his transition into film and television and would go on to book roles on highly acclaimed productions including The Bold Type (Freeform) and The Moodys (FOX). In 2021, he landed his first major role on the feature film The Wolf and the Lion (Blue Fox Entertainment) directed by award- winning French filmmaker Gilles de Maistre where he played the likeable animal tracker, Charles.

His big break came when he was cast as the fan favourite character Love Sausage in the popular hit series The Boys streaming on Prime Video. Since then he has amassed a growing body of work including Candy Cane Christmas (Lifetime), The Voyeurs (Prime Video), Essex County (CBC/CBC Gem), and Moonfall (Lionsgate).

Coming up next, Derek is set to star in the highly anticipated feature We Are Zombies, based on the comic book series The Zombies That Ate the World. The film is directed by the RKSS trio that brought cult classics such as Turbo Kid and Summer of 84’. He can also be seen in the horror film, The Sacrifice Game starring alongside Mena Massoud (Disney+/Aladdin). Both films made its premieres at the 2023 Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal this July 20 – August 9, 2023.

Outside of acting, Derek is an avid Twitch streamer, under the name @DerkaJohnsTV, where you can see him gaming and providing his witty banter.
