Acting Up
Acting comes naturally to Wes. He’s been acting-up since grade school, and now he does it for a living. So much for the advice of every school counselor he ever had. You are likely to have seen Wes on film, television, stage, or even on your radio. Okay, maybe you didn't “see” him on your radio. Here's what critics have to say about Wes:
The Washington Post praised Wes’ “alarmingly acute impressions,” calling him “an endless font of inventive energy.”
Washingtonian Magazine said “Johnson suggests the spirit of John Belushi inhabiting the frame of Jackie Gleason” and called him “a wiseacre with gymnastic eyebrows.”

Wes’
most recent film role is a real treat. John Waters selected
Wes to portray a major character in his film “A Dirty Shame.” Fat
Fuck Frank, aka Fat Blank Frank, Fat Freak Frank, or “Triple-F” is
the biker boyfriend of Selma Blair's character, Ursula Udders, and
one of the Apostles of Johnny Knoxville's character, Ray-Ray
Perkins. Wes was thrilled to work with the Dreamland gang, and to
have scenes with one of his heroes, Tracey Ullman. If you picked
up the uncut theatrical version of “A Dirty Shame,” you
could hear John Waters praising Wes’ work in his commentary track. The
DVD was released on June 14, 2005 and the uncut version has
tons of extra features, including the 90 minute documentary “All
the Dirt on A Dirty Shame.” The hilarious documentary features
Wes prominently (just in case the actual film didn't provide
enough Johnson for one sitting).
