Johnny Hobo

Johnny Hobo is a cat who appears as herself in 2017 film, Bigsby and the 2018 film, Grim.

In both films, Johnny is a stray cat, often seen hanging around an apartment building in Ashby. In Bigsby, she lived with Clem until Bigsby let her out, though she is seen with Bigsby in "Bigsby the Father". In Grim, she is seen laying on the porch of the same apartment which was previously occupied by Alastor Gwen. Johnny Hobo is the only character to appear as herself in both feature films.

Development and Casting
Johnny Hobo moved into the Tarbox in 2015, a year before production began on the Bigsby, seemingly abandoned, she wandered into the apartment malnourished with matted fur, living happily and healthy with Fritz Bishop until her death in early 2018.

Johnny Hobo was named after "Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains", a favorite musician of Fritz, though she seemed to more often respond simply to Johnny.

Her role in Bigsby was unscripted, as she wandered onto set while the crew were filming outside the Tarbox, which served as Clem's apartment in the film. She was subsequently cast in Grim based on her performance.

Her role in Grim was specifically written for her in order to place the film in the same "universe" as Bigsby, since Alastor lives in the same apartment as Clem. Johnny's scene in Grim was the first to be filmed, shot two weeks before production began. It is implied that Alastor does not let Johnny in his apartment.
