Taylor Johnston - Creature Actor, Voice Over Artist and Puppeteer.

I was born in the coastal city of Gisborne with Ngāti Porou descent, and raised in Pōneke Wellington, New Zealand. Despite my best efforts to live a normal life, I have ended up with a background in radio broadcasting, touring & recording for seven years with my former pop-punk band ‘Holloway’, working at Wētā Workshop and now playing all sorts of fantastical creatures & monsters. At six foot five and raised on a diet of science fiction, fantasy & horror, I am available for all your weird & wonderful creature feature needs!
