BIOGRAPHY OF JOSH BROLIN
He is the son of actor James Brolin and environmental activist Jane Agee. In 2015 he celebrates 30 years of career, but his professional career has been long and far from obvious. In fact, initially, due to the divorce of his parents, he distances himself from the world of cinema. In high school, however, he decides to take an acting class and plays Stanley in A Streetcar Called Desire, instantly being captured by it. At the cinema he made his debut at the age of 17 in the cult Goonies, where is Brand, the older brother of the character played by Sean Astin. The success of the film catapulted him into the world of TV, where he played series such as Jack, the private investigator and The prairie boys, where is young Wild Bill Hickcock. To see it again in the cinema we have to wait until 1994, in The scorpions, a film with Christopher Lambert and a thirteen year old Joseph Gordon-Levitt. But it’s a fiasco, and so is romantic comedy To love is. In 1996 David O. Russell wants him in the ensemble cast of his hilarious Love and Disaster, where Josh is famous for a scene where he licks the armpit of Patricia Arquette. In Flashpoint, in 1997, he was directed by his father James, who joined him in the film. It also appears in Mimic of Guillermo Del Toro and stands out in the thriller Nightwatch of Ole Bornedal, with Ewan McGregor. In 2000 he played an important role in The man without a shadow of Paul Verhoeven, but great success is still a long way off. The apprenticeship seems to end only in the late 2000s. His first appearance in a film was in 2004 Woody Allen, Melinda and Melinda (6 years later the New York director will call him again for You will meet the man of your dreams).
From 2007 onwards his star rises rapidly: Between 2007 and 2009 he appears in a series of very popular and / or high-level films: he plays the villain in Planet Terror by Robert Rodriguez, is the tough Texan veteran and hunter who finds a suitcase full of dirty dollars and decides to keep it in The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men, plays American Gangster and is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for the role of Dan White, the assassin of the mayor of San Francisco, in Milk.
They follow Wall Street: Money never sleeps, Jonah Hex – which earned him his only Razzie as the worst pair with Megan Fox -, W., in which he is extraordinary in the role of President George W. Bush, The Grit, where he is again headed by the Coens and Men in Black 3 in which he plays the young agent K, the character of Tommy Lee Jones. In 2013 it was the turn of the unfortunate Gangster Squad and of Oldboy of Spike Lee, where he undergoes a truly impressive physical transformation. In 2014 he is Dwight in Sin City – A woman to kill for, in which he returns to work with Robert Rodriguez and above all it is Lieutenant Bigfoot Bjorsen who gives life to extraordinary duets with partner Joaquin Phoenix in Defect of form. It also lends the voice to Thanos (uncredited) in Marvel Universe movies. In 2015 he works with Benicio del Toro is Emily Blunt in the appreciated Sicario of Denis Villeneuve, reads in Everest with Jake Gyllenhall and returns for the third time to work with Coen brothers in Hail, Caesar!
As for his private life, he has maintained excellent relations with his exes – his first wife Alice Adair with whom he has two children and the second, Diane Lane, from whom he divorced in 2013, after a 9-year marriage – despite some complaints and arrests related to alcohol abuse, apparently passed. A small blemish on a life and career that has been exemplary up to now.
