“I’ll make you laugh… then regret it.”
Joshua Ion is a comedic actor who grounds himself with dramatic intensity and a wounded depth to his performances. Whether it’s the struggling loner artist out of an indie film or the wisecracking cracking support in a blockbuster or even the tall and intense enforcer of a crime drama. Joshua will make you laugh or watch long enough to regret it.
I frequently play quirky sidekicks, awkward office underdogs, soft-spoken loners, and commanding presences 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 look but have a real humanity underneath.
Joshua is currently set to make an appearance in a film by the Casini brothers.
