“I found out this morning, brother, the same way we found out about the other shows,” Johnson reflects. “I tell people that sometimes the actors are the last ones to know, and that’s what it is, we are. We find out through social media as well, you know? Or we check our emails, and we get a letter.”

Johnson pointed out that the fact that it’s only show business and not that the show can go on for an infinite time.
