BIOGRAPHY

Joshua was born in Georgia and grew up in Germany and Italy. His family relocated to Conyers, Georgia where he spent most of his adolescence competitively fencing (2nd, 1998 World Youth Games, Moscow; ranked 3rd in US), riding horses, playing concert saxophone (1st Chair All State concert), and acting. Joshua attended Salem High School where he was heavily involved in the theatre and music departments. Theatre provided an opportunity to step into his light, which led him to the main stage at the International Thespian Conference in Lincoln, Nebraska starring in Amadeus in front of thousands.

From performing musicals and plays in high school he graduated to the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University in St. Louis where he received his BFA in Acting.  While at the conservatory he starred in The Laramie Project, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Importance of Being Earnest, Macbeth, and a number of other productions.

Following graduation, he moved to Los Angeles and quickly booked guest star roles on Crossing Jordan and American Dreams working alongside Sally Field, Eriq La Salle, and Jerry O'Connell. In 2006, Joshua and his twin brother booked The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (Brody brothers). The movie earned 3 Oscars and numerous other nominations and allowed him an opportunity to work with some of the elite directors/actors of Hollywood.

Joshua has since guest starred on Cold Case and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. He has starred in the following films: Nomad, Now or Never, and Devil's Creek, which earned multiple nominations at the Sacramento Horror Film Festival. He appears in the short film, Vicki, which won the 2nd Place Audience Award at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival.

In his spare time he enjoys fencing, golfing, shooting guns, and playing with his dog. He is also the Technical Director at Stuart Roger's Studio where he currently attends classes.

Joshua is represented by ACTIVITY and commercially with Henderson Represents, Inc. (HRI).  He is an active member of SAG/AFTRA.
