comments: Born in Vancouver, BC, with a mom who is a major casting director, one would think you'd be led away from a career in acting. But at age 11, Joshua decided he wanted to act. His mom brought him to an audition, hoping to dissuade him, but it convinced him that he wanted to act. And he got the part. So far confined to light teen fare, and mostly reprising his Charlie Conway role in the Mighty Ducks movies, Joshua seems destined for better roles. We're looking for better things from this young hunk. He exploded onto a very popular scene with his role in the WB series, "Dawson Creek" (Wednesday's at 8 on the WB). Josh was opposite Ryan Phillippe and Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions, and seen recently in The Skulls.
