| From deleted scene in Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay |
Josh Heald @healdrules was born and raised in Middletown, New Jersey. He was a fat kid. Not the fattest kid. Just a regular old fashioned "you go on ahead and run the mile in gym class... I'm gonna walk it" fat kid. The kind of fat kid who had plenty of time on his hands to watch Three Men and a Baby about a hundred and fifty times. The kind of fat kid who knew he needed something cool to get chicks to make out with him. So he took up the trombone. Because socially speaking, he was an idiot. Thankfully for our hero, at the end of high school, he dropped 60 pounds and eventually made out with a couple of chicks. Nice, right?
While attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Josh was Editor-in-Chief of a weekly arts and entertainment publication. Mainly, he tried to use his impressive journalist title to get free stuff like concert tickets and complimentary dinners... and to get chicks to make out with him. He was only moderately successful with the latter, but he's also very picky. I mean, he lost 60 pounds -- the guy's entitled to some decent options now, right? Right. Moving on...
Josh’s first foray into professional comedy was when he briefly worked as a management consultant for Booz-Allen & Hamilton (the comedy stemmed from the fact that this was a ridiculous career choice for an aspiring screenwriter). Josh corrected his course and moved to Los Angeles, where he began churning out material, selling two screenplays to New Line Cinema in 2004. In 2008, he would see his first movie produced (Screen Gems’ Mardi Gras, currently awaiting release). This paved the way for Heald to walk into MGM and pitch Hot Tub Time Machine with a straight face. Bitten by the acting bug, Josh also spent a year in training with Second City, which would come in handy for roles in Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Mardi Gras, and Hot Tub Time Machine.
Josh is currently developing a half-hour comedy for Fox. His favorite movie is The Karate Kid (the real one) and he hopes to one day own a house with a steam room.
