I'm a little leery about profiling Johnnie Gordon.
First, he only turned 18 in 2023.
Second, according to his Instagram, God is guiding Johnnie through careers as an actor, model, clothing entrepreneur, and college student. He has been blessed by God with 15 acting credits on the IMDB, including starring roles in two tv programs.
Telling your fans what God is doing for you may not necessarily mean that you eat at Chick-Fil-A and say "Amen!" when the pastor preaches against homa-seksuls, but there's a strong correlation. So Johnnie might object to being profiled on a gay-themed site.
But 70% of the guys I profile are straight.
And this is Johnnie's prom photo, so maybe he won't mind.
Johnnie's on-screen career began in 2013, with faith-based productions like A Christmas Blessing, The Good Book, and The Tree Widow.
In 2018, he started working on secular programs, with guest spots on Atlanta and Champaign Ill, and a thriller, Deadly Dispatch
He appeared in "Wicked Lips," Episode 1.4 of The Righteous Gemstones, as Sebastian, the teen at the trampoline party who tells Kelvin and Keefe that Dot Nancy went to Club Sinister with her boyfriend. His younger brother Jaylon dropped by for a photo.
In 2019 Johnnie played "Library Kid" in Doctor Sleep, starring Ewan McGregor.
More Johnnie after the break
His first starring role came in BMF, 2021-24, which is not available on any of my streaming services, but Roku had a "sample episode." It is a crime drama based on a real Black Mafia Family, with two of the real Mafiosos, Lil Meech Flenory and Da'Vinchi, playing Big Meech and Southwest.
Johnnie and his brother Jaylon appear in flashbacks as young versions of Lil Meech (so Lil Lil Meech) and Southwest T Flenory.
We see Da'Vinchi's butt and Big Meech's dick, with a condom sticking off it. Must be a prosthetic.
And Tre Rogers, but not his penis.
I only managed five minutes. First Dad comes in while the kids are making breakfast and gives Mom several loud, wet, sloppy kisses -- gross!. Then he compliments her on how good she was in bed last night -- in front of his kids!
Then the boys decide to go into mafia work because they can get clothes, cars, and "honeys." And from then on, it appears to be smashing honeys and shooting dudes all the way down.
I don't mean to doubt Johnnie's faith, but he's constantly talking abouot how God is guiding him and getting him roles. This doesn't seem like the most spiritually uplifting show. Did God really choose it for Johnnie?
Next the brothers starred in Terror Lake Drive, which runs on the AllBlk network. I couldn't find a "free sample episode," but it's either about "a single mom who runs away from her matriarchal home to Atlanta" or "a debt-ridden science teacher who inherits a million-dollar estate." Or they might be different women in different seasons.
The trailer looks interesting, and the androgynous Donielle Hainsley, or Little DeeDee, plays the surly teenage son, but I'm not subscribing to a whole network just to watch one program.
Johnnie and Jaylon are also Christian hiphop artists, with lyrics dedicated to spreading the Word of God, so maybe their music is a little more spiritually uplifting than their acting roles.
