In perhaps one of his most charming roles, Johnny teams up with whimsical director Tim Burton to portray 'Plan 9 from Outer Space' auteur Ed Wood, who is remembered as arguably the worst director in Hollywood history. The character is brought to life by Johnny, who manages to portray Wood's blind optimism as both outlandish and likeable simultaneously. Infamous for his films' improbable storylines and range of technical and physical glitches, not to mention his penchant for wearing women's clothing, Wood's career was boosted by his personal friendship with the ailing, elderly 'Dracula' star Bela Lugosi (a role that earned Martin Landau a Best Supporting Actor Oscar).
