If your father is an award-winning actor and your stepmother is a legendary actress/musician, then you really have a lot of outside pressure to pursue an entertainment career. Such is the case of Josh Brolin. The actor has followed in the footsteps of his famous parents and has made a name for himself in Hollywood. He has acted in several stunning films, winning many awards.

Josh Brolin Bio (Age)

Josh James Brolin was born on February 12, 1968 in Santa Monica, California. During his childhood, Brolin never wanted to be an actor as he was skeptical about the film industry. However, his attitude changed when he was in high school. He took acting classes and appeared in a few stage productions which made him fall in love with the craft. He then decided to pursue an acting career.

He began his career in the mid ’80s and made his professional debut in 1985 in comedy. The Goonies. Brolin gave an excellent performance in the film and began landing roles on a regular basis. He acted in other films such as Thrashin, High Way to Heaven, Private Investigator, Finish Line, and The Young Riders. However, Brolin’s career suffered a lull in the ’90s. Although he acted in a few films, they failed to impress and achieved little success at the box office.

Josh Brolin rejuvenated his career in the mid-2000s, appearing in critically acclaimed films such as Grindhouse and Into the Blue. Since that comeback, Brolin hasn’t backed down. He appeared in blockbusters like No Country for Old Men, W, and Milk. In No Country for Old Men, Brolin stars as a man who stumbles upon a stash of cash after a drug deal went awry. He then runs for his life with many attackers in his wake.

Before Josh landed the career-defining role, Brolin had been injured in a motorcycle accident and even considered quitting the part. However, someone advised him not to do this, but to channel his pain into his character. It turned out to be good advice. The film was not only a box office hit, but also a critical success. It has won over 70 awards and has been called one of the best films of the 21st century. It also won four Academy Awards, including the prestigious Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.
