Josh Bower a site devoted to the blatant self-promotion of an aspiring actor

A chinese lion statue

born in 1980 in sunny san diego, california, josh bower seemed to be a normal child with a seemingly unremarkable childhood. now is usually the part in the bio when something cataclysmic or utterly life changing would veer the course of his existence. but, unfortunately, his youth became only more unremarkable when his parents decided to move to the dusty hills of the mojave desert.

being a chubby awkward kid, josh made few friends and found solace in the warm glow that emanated from his television.

Playing Catchup.

Ok, so maybe I have been a complete slacker in keeping things up to date on the site over the last year.  That being said, I have in no way slacked otherwise (especially with the cheesy puns):

September 2008: Can I have some cheese with that whine?  Cast in a photoshoot for Darioush Winery in Napa Valley.

December 2008: It’s in the jeans…cast in a photoshoot for Bay Area company indi Denim.

December 2008: Starred in the limited engagement showing of Santaland Diaries by David Sedaris at The Prospect Theater Project.  I had the honor of meeting David Sedaris after one of his shows.  Upon learning that I played him he mentioned to my friend “he’s way too good looking for that role,” and then signed in my copy of Naked “To Josh-With Sympathy. David.”

March 2009: Coordinated and threw The Prospect Theater Project’s first annual charity gala Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves.  It was a smash success, and raised over $10,000 for the theater.

June 2009: Cast in the lead role in Tomas Bertenyi’s film Decameron.

September 2009: Cast in national commercial for Frog Tape.

November 2009: Cast as the lead role Bruce in Chris Durang’s Beyond Therapy.  Show opens in February at The Prospect Theater Project.

Whew!  That sums it up for now, stay tuned for pictures and more updates!

Josh took to the runway for the Rhia Jaucian charity fashion show in San Francisco.  Sporting a beautiful suit hand crafted by designer Lucio Montana, Josh did his best to walk in a straight line, turn, turn around, walk in a straight line, then turn again…I think he nailed it.

Last week Josh trudged through the icy and perilous conditions of the Yukon to help directors Jeffrey Pohorski and Sven Jansel bring to the world Skunk Film’s teaser for the feature film “The Golden City.”  Braving the brutal cold and freezing winds, Josh lost three toes in the process…well, no he didn’t…and they actually filmed near Yosemite in sunny California.  But still the conditions became unbearable as Josh had to endure lukewarm coffee and a complete lack of room service.  On a more serious note, Josh couldn’t have been happier to have been part of this project playing Jack London in this bio-pic based on his near-fatal trek to gold country at the turn of the century.  For more info, visit the Skunk Films site, or for additional pics visit Fourth Line Films for stills taken by filmmaker Nathan Clarke.

After taking a brief hiatus, Josh is back!  Set to shoot in January in the High Sierras, Josh is starring as Jack London in a teaser for a Jack London bio-pic feature entitled “The Golden City.”  God willing, he’ll make the screening, if he doesn’t get carried off by a bear…
