Josh Gad Biography
Joshua Gad is an actor, comedian, and singer. He is known for voicing Olaf in "Frozen" and "Frozen 2," playing Elder Arnold Cunningham in the Broadway musical "The Book of Mormon," and LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." For his activity as Olaf, Gad won an Annie Award, and for his work on "The Book of Mormon," he gained a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical nomination.
He has also appeared in ER, The Daily Show, Modern Family, New Girl, Bored to Death, and Numb3rs.
Gad played Skip Gilchrist in the political sitcom 1600 Penn on NBC, and a fictionalized version of himself on FX's The Comedians, alongside Billy Crystal. His other film roles include "The Rocker," "The Internship," "21," "Frozen," "Love & Other Drugs," "Jobs," "Pixels," "The Wedding Ringer," "The Angry Birds Movie" and the sequel, "A Dog's Purpose" and sequel "A Dog's Journey," "Marshall," and Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express." He will star in the upcoming Netflix movie "Super-Normal." In 2020, he began starring in the HBO comedy series Avenue 5.
Josh was born in Hollywood, Florida. He is the youngest of three sons born to a Jewish household — his father is a Jewish immigrant from Afghanistan and his mother is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. His parents divorced when he was a child, with his mother eventually remarrying. The divorce was a great loss to the young Josh, who chose to use humor and wit in order to cope. That early sense of comedic timing would serve him well in high school, where he won the National Forensics League National Tournament Championships for Original Oratory in 1998 and for Humorous Interpretation and Original Oratory in 1999.
After graduating high school in 1999, he attended the Carnegie Mellon College of Fine Arts. Throughout college, his focus remained steadfast on acting, having completed a semester-long exchange program at the National Institute of Dramatic Art and graduating with a Bachelor of Fine arts in drama.
