Wes Johnson

Wes was born in Arlington, Virginia, and studied acting under the late George Robert Allen. He is married to Kim Barrett, his high school sweetheart, and has three sons.

Wes began his career as an actor and comedian in stand-up, improvisation, and sketch comedy, working in radio, television, film, and video games. He was the final co-host of the legendary Wolfman Jack, writing and performing sketch comedy on the radio icon's weekly live program for the last two years of his life. Wes also wrote and performed parody songs for radio, some of which were featured nationally on The Doctor Demento Show. He hosted morning radio programs on WHFS FM and WXTR FM in Washington, DC.

As an early and longtime member of the Washington-based comedy troupe Gross National Product, Wes developed his talent for impressions into political parody. He later performed more edgy, nonpolitical comedy with his own DC-based group, Fresh Victims. The Washington Post praised his "alarmingly acute impressions" and described him as "an endless font of inventive energy." Washingtonian Magazine noted that "Johnson suggests the spirit of John Belushi inhabiting the frame of Jackie Gleason."

Wes is a frequently heard voice in video games, including The Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, and Star Trek: Legacy for Bethesda Softworks. He recently provided the voice for a Mag'Har Orc Noble in World of Warcraft.

He has won writing awards from the Wisconsin Screenwriters Forum and the America's Best Screenplay Contest, and was part of the Emmy Award-winning writing staff for the ensemble comedy program "Crabs" on Maryland Public Television.

Wes was the last public address announcer for the Washington Bullets, the first for the Washington Wizards, and currently announces for the WTT pro tennis team, the Washington Kastles. He has also served as the arena voice of the Stanley Cup Champion Washington Capitals since 2000.

Wes was the writer and cartoonist for "Joe Fan," which appeared in every issue of SportsFan Magazine, and "Martini 'N Clyde," which ran daily for two years in the Washington Times.
