I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.

Fun moments include playing Skippy the gay leather bush kangaroo on the West End in London and being that really violently nasty Redcoat commander in Fleetwood Mac’s video clip for Everywhere, plus a shedload of outdoor Shakespeare (his favourite), seemingly making a career of Elizabethan grotesquery with Bottom, Bum, and Belch.

Johnny Cordukes
Johnny is an actor, producer and voice-over artist with a diverse
production background. After more than12 years behind the camera producing a wide range of content from music videos (The Cruel Sea, The Whitlams, Tim Rogers) to Ozploitation horror film Primal (dir Josh Reed, 2010) via his company GreenArrow, Johnny decided that his next challenge was to be found in front of the camera, or a live audience. From the wildly comedic to the downright dastardly, Johnny has delivered uniquely powerful stage performances like Max in Pinter’s classic The Homecoming (2012) or a dextrous take on Spike Milligan in the riotously successful Goon Show Live! (2015 - 2019), to regular TV spots on ABC comedies such as The Checkout as well as Channel 7’s Home & Away.
Recent performance as hell-bent Detective Sergeant Gordon Godfrey in Josh Reed’s found-footage crime feature We’re Not Here To F**k Spiders showcases Johnny’s darker screen presence.
