Things turned around for the couple when Lori introduced Johnny to up-and-coming actor Nicolas Cage. After quickly becoming friends, Nicolas hooked Johnny up with his own agent. From this meeting, Johnny was able to secure an audition for his debut film role, A Nightmare on Elm Street. Johnny told Playboy: "I got the job. I was stupefied. They paid me all that money for a week. It was luck, an accident. I did it purely to pay the rent. I was literally filling out job applications at the same time, any kind of job."
