Derek Johns is a Canadian actor from London, Ontario, raised in Saint-Colomban, Quebec, who trained at Dawson College’s professional theatre program in Montreal before moving into film and television. After early work in children’s theatre, he began booking screen roles around 2015, appearing in series such as The Bold Type (Freeform) and The Moodys (FOX), and later in projects including Quantico, The Umbrella Academy, Essex County, SkyMed, and TV movies like Candy Cane Christmas and Broken Trust.
His breakthrough came with his recurring turn as the outrageous fan-favorite character Love Sausage on Prime Video’s hit series The Boys, which significantly raised his profile. Johns has since built a solid genre-heavy résumé, starring as Freddy Mercks in the horror-comedy feature We Are Zombies and appearing in films such as The Wolf and the Lion, The Sacrifice Game, Moonfall, Appiness, and The Voyeurs, while also cultivating a following as a Twitch streamer under the handle @DerkaJohnsTV. Also you can catch him on television in Sheriff Country, Brilliant Minds, and of course, the final season of The Boys, which airs April 8th, 2026.
