The actor and former Marlboro Man, who had a recurring role on Melrose Place, died of COVID-19 in February.

“Brad greatly enjoyed improving and enhancing land, in a way that maintained and respected its natural beauty. He confessed, however, that he never was a smoker. Always was Johnson’s first substantial acting gig, and while it didn’t catapult him to superstardom, he was rarely without work, appearing in films like The Philadelphia Experiment II and on episodes of the Outer Limit reboot. Though not the breakout hit that some faith-based films were that followed it, it was still groundbreaking, and had enough for a legacy for reboots and spin-offs. “I lit a million of them, though,” he said. He was 62 years old.
