Johnny Foote

Johnny Foote is a bright light in the movie. Yes, he's part of the society that oppresses people of color, but he seems to subscribe to a very different value system. Minny and Celia (Johnny's wife) both expect Johnny to behave typically -- that is, to treat Minny without respect and to love Celia only if she gives him children and fits in with the society ladies. As it turns out, Johnny values both women for who they are and will do all he can to shield them from ugliness and discomfort. Although fraught with miscommunication, Johnny and Celia share what seems to be the movie's only true romance.

Johnny is portrayed by Mike Vogel.
