The family moved back to America when Johnny was three. He got his first acting role in 1987, in the made-for-TV movie Time Out for Dad, which was the first of several bit parts in a variety of TV projects.

His CV also includes appearances in Vanilla Sky, My Name is Earl, Hancock and Table for Three. In 2006, he took to the stage in a Broadway production of The Little Dog Laughed (which also featured his first nude scene). He returned to the small screen for the sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
