Ever wonder how someone destined to uphold the law ends up battling zombies on screen? The story of Josh McDermitt is a testament to the unpredictable nature of talent and destiny, leading him from criminal justice aspirations to becoming a beloved character on one of television's most iconic shows.
Josh McDermitt, an American actor and comedian, was born on June 4, 1978. Best known for his portrayal of Eugene Porter on AMC's "The Walking Dead," McDermitt's journey into the entertainment world was anything but conventional. He is not only celebrated for his role in the post-apocalyptic drama but also for his earlier work, including his stint as Brandon in "Retired at 35" and his appearance on "Last Comic Standing" in 2006. His foray into acting and comedy seems almost accidental, considering his initial career aspirations lay far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
