In both the US and his native Canada, Johnstone has made a living with small parts and recurring appearances on well-known series. Early in his career, he had a turn on a two-part episode of Monk. He followed that up with a one-off on the television adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone. Eagle-eyed fans might recognize him from a one-time appearance on the 2002 reboot of The Twilight Zone, or his background role in the 2008 X-Files movie. He turned up as many different characters for nine episodes of Stargate SG-1.
His biggest television role by far, however, came just two years ago, when he starred in the well-received Nickelodeon teen comedy Star Falls. In that series, he played a movie star who moved to a small town for a film, taking up residence with a single mother and her daughter. Throughout the show’s 20 episodes, daughter Sophia attempted to set up Johnstone’s Craig Brooks with her mother.
