Bryan Cornelius Johnson (born December 7, 1967) is a writer, actor, podcaster and director associated with Kevin Smith and the View Askewniverse. He is best known by his local fame in New Jersey and appearances in Smith's New Jersey films as comic book fan Steve-Dave Pulasti. Because of his friendship with Smith, he was often involved in his productions until Smith moved to Los Angeles. Johnson is also co-host of the "Tell 'Em Steve Dave!" Podcast with friend and "Fan Boy" Walt Flanagan and Staten Island fireman and 'Tech Guy' "Hollywood" Brian Quinn. He has stated that he has a 'chemical imbalance', with depression and symptoms similar in appearance to attention deficit disorder. He was the main inspiration for the character Randall Graves. He wasn't cast in Clerks, because he wasn't on speaking terms with Kevin Smith at the time of the filming.
