Johnson's big break came with his first major role in AMC's award-winning The Killing, where he played Denny Larsen, a role for which he received a Young Artist Award nomination and praise from director Patty Jenkins, who directed both The Killing's pilot and season finale episodes. Johnson appeared in 26 episodes in season 1 and 2.
