Too Opinionated Interview: Callie Johnson

Today on Too Opinionated, we talk with actress Callie Johnson! 

With roots in rural Illinois and a drive to pursue acting as a career, she attended Columbia College Chicago earning a Bachelor in Fine Arts in musical theatre. She had an incredibly varied theatre career, stretching from leading ladies in avant-garde cult classic musicals like Stephen King’s Carrie, to playing Ophelia and Desdemona. Callie won a Joseph Jefferson Award for her cameo appearance in Porchlight Music Theatre’s production of Pal Joey. Not stopping there, she can also be seen as a recurring guest star on NBC’s Chicago Med, and featured in Chicago P.D. as well as popular Peacock series A Frend Of The Family! Callie is on a lifelong journey to cultivate meaningful connections with others, and most importantly, herself; she fully believes that striving to be a wholehearted human being in life is a crucial part of effective storytelling in art. 

Callie can be seen currently starring in AppleTV+'s new film The Beanie Bubble playing the character Linda alongside actor Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks, releasing on July 21st, 2023. Callie is thrilled to be in this flash-to-the-past film (being a true Beanie Babies fan in her real-life childhood), in which the storyline uncovers Beanie Babies and its booming phenomena in America.
