"Dining Playbook" personality Jenny Johnson has become the go-to reporter for film. Last year, she was asked to play a TV reporter in the locally filmed Denzel Washington movie "The Equalizer." And this week she was in Providence playing a reporter in a scene in "Bleed for This," the Ben Younger-directed, Martin Scorsese-executive-produced biopic of Rhode Island boxer Vinny Pazienza , played by Miles Teller. As Johnson's shoulder pads suggest, this scene takes place in the '80s.
