“I’ll make you laugh… then regret it.”
Joshua Ion is a comedic actor who is able to ground himself with dramatic intensity and wounded depth to his performances. Whether it’s the struggling loner artist out of an indie film, the lovable wisecracking support in a blockbuster or even the tall and intense enforcer of a crime drama. Joshua will make you laugh until you regret it.
He will often be found playing quirky sidekicks, awkward office underdogs, soft-spoken loners, and the physical commanding presence for good or evil.
His performances blend goofy, quick-witted humour with a real emotional vulnerability underneath, with a mix of the energy of Nicholas Braun, Charlie Heaton, and Simon Pegg.
Strong fits include drama, dramedy, crime comedies, YA/supernatural dramas, indie films, and comedy-horror. Naturally cast as the lovable chaotic sidekick, depressed or blocked dreamer, sweet but awkward romantic lead, depressed and wounded loner, or gentle giant with a menacing edge.
He brings a warm and human presence to both comedic chaos and the quiet isolation, especially to characters who appear intimidating or odd at first glance but have a real humanity underneath.
Joshua is currently set to make an appearance in a film by the Casini brothers, shooting this summer.
