Johnny Harper is a fictional character on the FOX television series The O.C., played by Ryan Donowho.
Johnny Harper was an upcoming surfer, rival of Kevin Volchok and best friend of Dennis "Chili" Childress. He was a student at Newport Union, where he met Marissa Cooper and developed feelings for her. His girlfriend Casey realizes this and cheats on him with Volchok. Johnny wants to fight Volchok, but is saved by Marissa's boyfriend Ryan Atwood.
Johnny's surfing career came to an end when a car ran him over. This and his unrequited love for Marissa led to his downfall. He starts a short relationship with Marissa's sister Kaitlin but comes to the decision that he has to confront Marissa over his feelings for her. When she replies with a letter, telling him that she doesn't love him, he goes drinking at the beach with Kaitlin. Being very drunk, he climbs up a cliff. Kaitlin calls Ryan to save him but Johnny ends up falling to his death.
