Hi, i'm a fan of Karl Johnson. I'm looking for information about him. I know he was probably born in 1948, he made some beautiful movies like "The Tempest", "Jubilee" and "Wittgenstein" with Derek Jarman. I've read he play blues guitar. But that's all! I'd like to know more or to talk with other fan of him! Did he made a theatre school to learn to recite, or was self-taught? How did he chose the actor career?

Hi i am Karl's 2nd cousin and have trouble watching him on TV as he is the double of my granddad who sadly passed five years ago. My aunt, also finds it difficult to watch him, the likeness is unreal. But needless to say we are fiercely proud of him. I am loved him in Larkrise to Candleford on BBC TV even if his appearance made me cry!
