Herman Johansen

Biography

Herman's training, intensity, and dry humor have led to highly praised performances of richly flawed and complex characters. His personal interests include reading, cooking, hiking (including several of Colorado's Fourteeners), and travel. He is a sucker for anything that flies and has been airborne in everything from a vintage open-cockpit canvas plane, a hot air balloon, a glider over the Pacific, and under a parachute. In addition to acting, Herman has extensive directing, writing, and casting credits in theatre and film. In 2019, he was given the 'best emerging performance' award at the Chesapeake Film Festival for his work in The Land. In 2026, his first novel will be published, Las Cruces: Blood Relative.
