When Hollywood Calls, an interview with the Hardest Working Actor in Show Business, Joshua Schubart
If you've ever watched the Amazon Prime series The Tick, or Seven Seconds on Netflix, or High Maintenance on HBO, or After on the IFT Network, then you will recognize Joshua Schubart.
A big man with an even bigger heart, Josh sits down with Brad to open up about being homeless, growing up in foster care, and how acting and his foster parents, saved his life.
"Acting helped me to escape my situation at the time..."
Josh shares his emotional journey of landing the part of Frank on The Tick, the highs and lows of the acting world, working with Michael Cerveris, and the dream he never thought he'd achieve; being a good father.
Having graced the pages of GQ magazine as a "Brawny Model," and putting together his short series "The Transformation of Ben Grimm," It appears that Joshua will reach his ultimate goal—being cast in the MCU and working with Taika Waititi.
This is a fun episode for comic book nerds and film buffs alike as The Hardest Working Man in Show Business shares his life.
About Joshua Schubart:
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Joshua Schubart has been working as a professional actor for over a decade.
Joshua had a tough childhood, growing up homeless and in the foster care system. At 14, his foster parents put him in Catholic school, and his life took a turn for the better. He discovered acting in his early teens, as an escape from his day-to-day challenges. He would often say that acting literally saved his life, giving him the drive and motivation to make his dreams come true. Joshua attended the Asolo Conservatory for actor training and got a BA in Acting from Stony Brook University. Upon graduation, he fully immersed himself in the craft, building a reputation as a hardworking and talented actor.
Joshua has been seen in projects ranging from small indie films to walking the boards at the Metropolitan Opera. Some of his recent work includes a recurring role in the Amazon series The Tick, and appearances in Seven Seconds (Netflix) and High Maintenance (HBO).
His voice can also be heard on a long list of audiobooks available on Amazon Audible, including Blue Summer, Lorelei and Blaze of Ecstasy.
In addition to acting, Joshua is a highly skilled stunt man/stage combatant, with training in hand-to-hand, almost every bladed weapon and most guns. Passionate as well about stepping behind the camera, Joshua is the co-founder of the production company 2 Ladies & A Giant. Together with his production company, Joshua created .After, a series about a widower navigating life and the dating scene after losing his wife. The series, starring Joshua, is a story of life, love, and rebirth, and streams on IFT Network.
Growing up reading comic books, Joshua hopes to work with Marvel in the near future. And working with Taika Waititi is a dream of his.
Also a plus size model, Joshua hopes his work in front and behind the camera will open doors for larger people in the industry, break the stereotypes, and prove that they are more than just the funny or bad guys.
In his free time Joshua likes to build computers, read, play different sports, and spend time with his wife and daughter. To learn more about Joshua, follow him on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram at @Josh_Schubart.
