Josh McHugh(III)
- Actor
- Sound Department
- Producer
Josh McHugh, a New Hampshire native, got his first theatrical role at
the age of six playing a not-so-Tiny Tim for Pinardville Boys' Club's
holiday production of "A Christmas Carol". He would not see the
footlights again for another twenty-four years, as his interests turned
to sports, academia and the odd girl who may have casually glanced in
his general direction. His passion for the stage would be reignited
when a friend of dubious tastes suggested he might prove to be a good
actor. Seriously. Thats all it took. As a result, he would spend the
next year obsessing over the possibilities, driving his wife slowly
mad. Finally, in an act of love, or exasperation, she settled on the
"put up or shut up" approach, signing Josh up for a day-long workshop
at the Cambridge Adult Education Center in Harvard Square. There, he
would be assaulted with all manner of embarrassment: Improv. Theater
games. Act like a tree. The agony inflicted on his fragile ego was
excruciating. He loved it. Since those first timid steps, he has taken
every opportunity to grow in his craft, performing in numerous web
series and short films, an independent feature, a theater piece, in
addition to commercial and voiceover work. One web series' role earned
him eligibility to join SAG/AFTRA. The next short film lead role earned
a nomination for "Best Actor" at LA's 2012 48 Hour Film Festival. He is
looking forward to the next challenge in his journey. He resides in
"The Valley" with his wife of twelve years and his son of five.
