Mini biography

Johnston got his start in the entertainment industry at a young age, landing appearances in the Disney Elementary Talent Show an unprecedented two years in a row for his timeless stand-up comedy.  As a young boy, Sean would spend literally hours in front of the television watching some of the most popular game shows of the 1980s.

One year prior to the divorce of his parents in 1992, Sean was sent to live with his father in Mount Pleasant, Michigan.  As a student at Vowels Elementary School, he was given the opportunity to once again return to the stage, this time in a dramatic production.  His teachers realized his ability to perform in both dramatic and comedic roles and he became a utility actor for much of the early 90s.

In 1995, Johnston teamed up with legendary actor/writer Andrew Tomaskovic to bring St. Mary's School in Mount Clemens, Michigan a number of hit performances including Gyparody! and The 1997 Spring Program.  It was at the St. Mary's School that he realized his talent for writing and became more confident in his craft.

With the profound absence of a social life, and once again faced with the challenge of a new school; Johnston found himself writing significantly throughout his early High School period.  Unfortunately, when lightning struck his Saint Clair Shores apartment in 1999, he lost the vast majority of short stories, plays, and screenplays that he had completed.

High School also gave Sean the opportunity to try his hand at Television Broadcasting and Game Show hosting.  He was an award-winning cast member of The Silver and Blue Report for an astonishing three years (a feat only matched by fellow cast member Jeff Allison).  He was also given the opportunity to produce and host three game shows at Lakeview High School.  The Silver and Blue Challenge, Junior Class Price is Right, and Who Wants to be a Big Winner?  The latter of which raised over $800 for a Bosnian Orphanage.

Upon admittance to Central Michigan University's prestigious Broadcasting and Cinematic Arts program, Sean found himself in comfortable surroundings.  It wasn't long before he rolled up his sleeves and went to work for Moore Hall Television.  Johnston was a featured cast member on the improvisational comedy show Trapdoor, and the host of the award-winning satire program The Lighter Side.

Where are they now?

Sean T. Johnston is currently fulfilling his elected duties as Student Body President of Central Michigan University.  His return to MHTV is considered unlikely in 2003-2004, given his current level of involvement.  Johnston is, however, in negociations with the  Senior Web Designer of Moore Media Digital Design to be a freelance writer for the M2D2 website.

Johnston is one of the newest Associate Members of the Gamma Lambda chapter of the Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity

Entertainment Weekly  reported that former Lighter Side producer Brianne Frucci has signed on to help Sean develop a game show for the 2004 Fall Sweeps.

Sean plans on a 4 year active tour of duty as a Surface Warfare Officer in the United States Navy upon graduation from Central Michigan University.

Johnston currently resides in Kesseler Residence Hall, Room 205.
