Katrina Ann Johnson (born April 27, 1982) is an American actress. Born in San Diego, California, she starred on Nickelodeon's All That sketch comedy show from 1994 to 1997. Nickelodeon planned her to be a panelist of Figure it Out, but she departed All That before it premiered. She played characters such as the "Lemonade Scammer". She also did impressions of Roseanne Barr and Ross Perot in many episodes. She often played the role of the "cute, innocent girl" due to her small stature. While on Hiatus from the show she wrote and performed stand-up routines at the Pasadena Ice House and the Laugh Factory. She put her comedic skills to use as a co-host on The Cable Ace Awards; The Big Help and The Kids Choice Awards along with numerous charitable functions. She also co-wrote and recorded two songs during this period. Johnson returned for the 100th episode, along with fellow All That alumni Angelique Bates, Lori Beth Denberg, and Alisa Reyes. She also returned for the All That 10th Anniversary special. Katrina graduated from high school with honors at the age of 15. While attending classes at Cal State Long Beach she took small parts in movies including Tomcats, American Pie II and Starski and Hutch, and performed in over 30 music videos with Jennifer Lopez, P Diddy and various other artists. During this time she replaced the lead singer in the group “Lush” and recorded a 12 song album. In her senior year Katrina won the National Persuasion Contest, beating the Harvard debating team in the final round. In her spare time she finished 2nd in the national taekwondo Olympic qualifying meet. Since her graduation Katrina has been involved in several projects including filming on location in North Carolina, a starring role in the film “Sisters.” Her next project was a lead role in a sketch comedy pilot, “Acting Out.” Her latest venture is a series regular in the Playboy TV series “King of Clubs,” in which she plays a vivacious cigarette girl.
Johnson recently reunited with several of her former cast members on All That at the 2011 Comikaze Expo.
