Joshua Braud, a New Orleans native, decided to pursue acting at an early age; but his parents encouraged him to make school his top priority instead. Eventually, with his mother's blessing, he signed to a small casting agency (Louisiana Casting). In 2003, at the tender age of 13, Joshua landed his first role. He was hired as a stand in during the filming of Queen Latifah's movie, Last Holiday. After his role in Last Holiday there was an eight year time lapse before Joshua began receiving additional calls for work. In 2005 hurricane Katrina happened and caused massive devastation. Despite Hurricane Katrina's impact he was still determined to become a successful actor. After graduating from high school (2007) in Baton Rouge, LA he enrolled in Southern University. While a student in college, Joshua created aspiring actor profiles on several casting company's websites. In 2011 he received the long awaited phone call that would change his life forever. He landed the second role of his career, as a baseball player, in Director Ron Shelton's movie Hound Dogs. Since then he has landed additional rolls in Django Unchained, 2 Guns, and The Butler; just to name a few. Joshua is also a passionate singer/ songwriter and radio personality. Show less «
