Within the first year of being signed, Josh booked the role of Weapons Officer Clancy in the Syfy Channel original movie, American Warships (written and directed by Thunder Levin, writer of Sharknado). Josh had the opportunity to work along side Mario Van Peebles and Carl Weathers. In his second year, Josh booked a role on CBS Film's Last Vegas starring Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Michael Douglas. In Josh's third year, he booked a principal role in the BET channel original movie, Frat Brothers starring Romeo Miller aka Lil' Romeo. While on set, the director decided to name the actual character Josh Cohen. So this role turned into what some call a "Cameo". In the same year, Josh booked a role in Steven Spielberg's FOX drama, Red Band Society. In 2014, Josh left Reel Sisters Talent and signed with Artist's Resource Agency.
With an extensive amount of participation in the local film community, Josh soon found a new passion; writing and producing. In 2014, Josh wrote and executive produced his first ever SAG family-friendly short film, Stinky Feet: The Short. The film screened at festivals all over the world, including: the San Diego International Kid's Film Festival, the Montana International Children's Film Festival, the 39th Elche International Independent Film Festival in Spain, the Cape Fear Independent Film Festival in North Carolina, and the 23rd International Environmental Film Festival by FICMA in Barcelona.
After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a Bachelor of Arts degree in the Summer of 2015, Josh moved to New York City to pursue his passion for writing and producing.
