Career

=''Grand Theft Auto V''=

Johnson voiced the character Lamar Davis for the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V. In 2021, Johnson reprised his role alongside Shawn Fonteno (who voiced Franklin Clinton in the same game) in a live-action re-enactment of a cutscene where Lamar "roasts" Franklin.{{cite web|url=https://www.pcgamer.com/grand-theft-auto-5-voice-actors-recreate-the-lamar-roasts-franklin-scene/|work=PC Gamer|title=Grand Theft Auto 5 voice actors recreate the 'Lamar Roasts Franklin' scene|author=Chalk, Andy|date=January 12, 2021}} The original scene had experienced a resurgence in popularity years later when parodies were uploaded online, usually involving Lamar's character model being replaced with various popular culture icons.{{Cite news |last=Good |first=Owen S. |date=January 13, 2021 |title=GTA 5's 'Lamar roasts Franklin' meme goes IRL with original actors |language=en |url=https://www.polygon.com/2021/1/13/22228982/gta-5-lamar-roasts-franklin-original-actors-video |access-date=January 23, 2021}}{{Cite news |last=Boom |first=Daniel Van |title=GTA V's dumbest meme re-created IRL with the game's actual actors |language=en |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/gta-vs-dumbest-meme-recreated-irl-with-the-games-actual-actors/ |access-date=January 23, 2021}} Later that year, Fonteno and Johnson again reprised their roles in downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto Online, which included a homage to the original roast cutscene.{{Cite news |title=Lamar roasts Franklin again in GTA Online's The Contract update |language=en-GB |url=https://www.pcgamesn.com/grand-theft-auto-v/franklin-mission |access-date=January 6, 2022}}
