Brad Johnson, ‘Melrose Place’ Actor, Dies at 62
thewrap.comThe Hollywood Reporter.“Brad was a true renaissance man. He was not only interested in all life had to offer, but was gifted in it as well,” an obituary for the actor read.
Johnson’s professional career began on the rodeo circuit in 1984, which is where he was first noticed by a movie scout. The Hollywood hopeful would work as a Marlboro Man in commercials and appear in multiple Calvin Klein ads before finding breakout on-screen success.
His first big break came in Spielberg’s 1989 drama “Always,” which also starred Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter. From there, Johnson would go on to appear in a number of notable productions, including “Flight of the Intruder,” TNT miniseries “Rough Riders,” the “Left Behind” film series, Fox’s “Melrose Place” and many more.
In 2021, Johnson was cast in Western movie “Treasure Valley,” though his scenes ultimately went unfilmed after the sudden death of actor-writer Jay Pickett early in production.
