Johnson

Day of the Dead
Johnson is a fictional soldier and one of the supporting characters in the 1985 survival horror film Day of the Dead. He was played by actor and makeup artist Greg Nicotero. Johnson was a soldier in the United States Army holding the rank of Private. He operated under Captain Henry Rhodes and was stationed out of Fort Myers in 1985. He often worked closely with another private named Miller. When zombies began breaking through the secure areas of the military command center, Johnson and the others attempted to barricade their path. While trying to capture one of the zombies, the creature attacked Miller, who fired his weapon, accidentally shooting Johnson, killing him. Doctor Matthew Logan, an obsessive scientist on staff at the compound, surgically removed Johnson's head and reanimated it as part of his experiments. The rest of his remains he fed to his pet zombie Bub as part of a reward incentive.
