    American actor Ernest Lamont Johnson Jr. (September 30, 1922 – October 24, 2010), and also film director, was famous for many television shows and movies, like Jerry Maguire (1996), CSI: Miami (2002), and V.I.P. (1998). He began his career in radio playing the role of Tarzan in a popular series in 1951 and worked as a newscaster and disc jockey. He was able to portray Archie Goodwin in The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe.

    In 1948, Johnson's directing debut came with the play Yes Is For a Very Young Man in New York. He directed The Man in the Moon (1959), Iphigénie en Tauride (1962), and Orfeo (1990), and the series Felicity, plus the television movie The Man Next Door (1996). He was nominated for nine Emmy Awards, winning twice, for Wallenberg: A Hero's Story (1985) and Lincoln (1988) — both for Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries Movie Or A Dramatic Special. He was nominated in the same category for Crash Landing: The Rescue of Flight 232 (1992), Unnatural Causes (1987), Ernie Kovacs: Between the Laughter (1984), Fear on Trial (1976), the biography non-fiction war film, The Execution of Private “Eddie” Slovik (1974) by William Bradford Huie, and That Certain Summer (1973).

    Johnson won DGA Awards for Most Outstanding Director for Television: Profiles in Courage (1964), My Sweet Charlie (1970), That Certain Summer (1972), and Lincoln (1988). He married Toni Merrill in 1945 until his death due to heart failure in Monterey, California in 2010 at the age of 88.
