Kyle Johnson Biography – Kyle Johnson Wiki
Kyle Johnson is an American actor, most notable for his performance in the 1969 film The Learning Tree. He started his acting career when he accompanied his mother, as a form of punishment to an audition for a stage play. The director saw Johnson and cast him on the spot for the production.
His TV appearances include such shows as The Fugitive and The Mod Squad. His early film roles include the 1965 epic film The Greatest Story Ever Told, in which he was cast as the son of Simon of Cyrene (who was portrayed by Sidney Poitier). His later films included Roger Vadim’s Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) and Brother on the Run (1973). He was active in the Los Angeles music scene of the 1980s as a musician and songwriter. His song, “Ready To Receive” was recorded by independent folk and pop artist Claudia Russell.
In the early 2000s, he had a radio show on KNFT in Silver City, New Mexico, which was the only left-of-center show on the station which also featured shows by Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives. The show was pulled from the air after just two months, reportedly due to pressure from local ranchers who objected to its content.
Kyle Johnson Age

Kyle Johnson Parents
He is the son of actress Nichelle Nichols and her husband Foster Johnson. His parents divorced the year he was born.
Nichelle Nichols Death
In June 2015, his mother Nichols suffered a mild stroke at her Los Angeles home and was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital. A magnetic resonance imaging scan confirmed a small stroke had occurred, and she started inpatient therapy. In early 2018, Nichols was diagnosed with dementia, and subsequently announced her retirement from convention appearances.
After a legal dispute over the actions of her manager-turned-caretaker Gilbert Bell, her son Kyle Johnson filed for conservatorship in 2018. Before a court granted his petition in January 2019, Nichols’ friend Angelique Fawcette, who had already expressed concern in 2017 over Bell’s control of access to her, pressed for visitation rights, including by opposing Johnson’s petition. That dispute and a 2019 court case by Bell over being evicted from the guesthouse on Nichols’ property were both ongoing as of August 2021.
His mother Nichols died of heart failure in Silver City, New Mexico, on July 30, 2022, at the age of 89.
She died of natural causes on Saturday night, her son Kyle Johnson said. In a statement posted on Facebook, Kyle wrote: “I regret to inform you that great light in the firmament no longer shines for us as it has for so many years. Her light, however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration.”
A family spokesman stated that Nichols died in Silver City, New Mexico, where she had been living with her son.
