Josh Charles
Dan Rydell on Sports Night

Josh Charles has amassed an impressive body of work that encompasses comedy, television, theater and film. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Josh studied at the Baltimore School of the Performing Arts and made his feature debut in John Waters' satirical cult favorite, "Hairspray."

Josh went on to land the coveted role of Knox, a shy, love-struck prep-school boy, in Peter Weir's "Dead Poets Society," starring opposite Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke. He was then cast as the comic, troubled youth in Mike Binder's "Crossing the Bridge."

Audiences may best remember Josh for his compelling performance as the "sexually ambivalent" roommate of Stephen Baldwin and Lara Flynn Boyle in "Threesome." Directed by Andy Fleming, the film takes a comedic, but biting, look at college life in the '90s.

Other feature film credits include "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead" and "The Grave," a dark comedy set in the rural South.

On television, Josh has starred in the TNT film, "Cooperstown," with Alan Arkin; and the Emmy Award-winning "Murder in Mississippi," with Tom Hulce and Andre Braugher. He also starred opposite Ashley Judd in the critically acclaimed bio-pic, "Norma Jean and Marilyn."

Although he performed as a stand-up comic while growing up, Josh also considered pursuing professional baseball as a career. He still remains a diehard Orioles fan and returns to Baltimore for games as often as possible. Josh currently resides in Los Angeles.
