JAY JOHNSON THE SCHIZOPHRENIC VENTRILOQUIST FROM SOAP


Jay Johnson (born in Lubbock Texas July 11, 1949. He got in fame from the TV show SOAP as the character who thought Chuck was alive, and wouldn't go anywhere without him. His appearances on many tv shows helped make him a house hold name. He won a Tony Award for his special 'THE TWO AND ONLY" As a shy, dyslexic kid he had trouble fitting in. He wasn't sports oriented, so that made it even tougher to fit in. He found a broken Jerry Mahoney doll in a relative's closet and proved to everyone that he could make it work. He calls his characters 'Wooden Americans' He's a gifted storyteller capable of carrying a broadway show to the Tony awards and win...Great going Jay you got those Wooden Americans eating out of your hand...
