I remember his name being bandied about as a possible Bond and thought he'd have been a good choice. The sixties was my first decade of heavy movie going and Johnson was a big part of that...

He played my favorite character in one of my favorite movies (THE HAUNTING). "Aww, damn" indeed! R.I.P.

I agree, Tom. He was grand in THE HAUNTING, which was my favourite as well. Happy Landings, Mr. J.... "E"

Did a late Hitchcock hour, "Power of Attorney," and made an excellent Bulldog Drummond in DEADLIER THAN THE MALE and SOME GIRLS DO; in between he played a burned out agent in the rarely seen Amicus...

Excellent actor. I also thought, a few decades back, that he'd make a pretty great Bond. But when I saw his Bulldog Drummond, I was no longer so sure. He seemed smart and handsome and superior enough,...

A very nice gentleman indeed. Polite, modest and fan-friendly. Just a few weeks ago I watched the first of his two Magnum, PI episodes again. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Well, almost 90 is a great run. Have to watch ZOMBIE this week. My favorite horror film of his THE WITCH (THE WITCH IN LOVE) never got it's due. I wish someone would do right by it.

His contribution to the dvd lecture track of THE HAUNTING was outstanding. You can sense he really was a decent guy.If you want to see him play comedy, check out Season #1, Episode #2 of Doc Martin,...

I thought that Johnson was pretty good as Cassius in the rather weak 1970 version of Julius Caesar. At least he tried to bring some life to his scenes with somnambulant Jason Robards as Brutus.

From THE HAUNTING's dashing Dr. Markway to the decrepit Dr. Menard in Fulci's ZOMBIE -- always a welcome presence. I also liked him as Sinatra's rowdy, monocle-wearing buddy in NEVER SO FEW.Little...

Not to mention that he had one of those doubly-phallic names, you know, like Richard Dix and Peter O'Toole. Okay, best not to mention!

I was just thinking about him the other day, rats. One of those actors whose name in the credits of a film always made me smile. I'm glad he's left us such a nice body of work. Full marks!

He was in my favorite version of TREASURE ISLAND, the Frazer Heston version with that other Heston in it too. And yes, he was perfect (maybe even better) in THE HAUNTING. RIP.

I didn't even know about this. A good actor underutilized. Film fans will always treasure his main claim to fame as Dr. Markway in the all-time classic, THE HAUNTING. R.I.P.

Always a fine actor,I remember him as Claudius in the Richard Chamberlain Hamlet, which has fallen through the cracks.and as someone posted, possibly the best Cassius I have seen in the 1970 version...
