Spotlight on Talent: Theo Johnson

Theo Johnson
Studied Performing Arts

“Walsall College gave me so many opportunities to develop as an actor, as well as the belief that I could turn it into a career.”

Performing the lead in a play at the National Theatre in London while at college, gave Theo a foot in the door to the world of acting and since then his career has only gone in one direction. From starring in Channel 4 drama series, Raised by Wolves, and BBC One soap opera, Doctors, Theo’s talents have taken him to great heights and he now has his sights firmly set on winning an Oscar!

“Studying at Walsall College gave me all the right skills to enhance my talents, but it was the tutors, who know what the industry is like, that pushed me to achieve my potential and pursue my dreams. I am now getting paid to do what I love, which is an incredible feeling. It just shows you really do reap the rewards for what you sow.

“As well as the acting I’ve also achieved a degree in teaching drama and have modelled for well-known brands including Adidas.

“Walsall College gave me so many opportunities to develop as an actor, as well as the belief that I could turn it into a career. I now want to help inspire other budding actors so visit schools to do drama workshops as often as I can.”
