Josh Grisetti (born December 1, 1981)[1] is an American actor, director and author who works in theatre, television and film.

Early life

Grisetti was born in Washington D.C. and grew up in Franklin County, Virginia.[2] He attended high school at the North Carolina School of the Arts to graduate in 2000 with a diploma in Drama. He attended college at The Boston Conservatory where he graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre.

Career

Broadway and Off-Broadway

Grisetti starred in the York Theatre's 2008-2009 musical adaption of Enter Laughing (originally titled So Long, 174th Street), garnering a Theatre World Award for "Outstanding Debut Performance" as well as Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Drama League Award nominations. Grisetti was supposed to have made his Broadway debut in the 2009-2010 season, starring as "Eugene Morris Jerome" in the Neil Simon revival of Broadway Bound, directed by David Cromer.[3][4] Because of poor ticket sales, Broadway Bound's sister show (Brighton Beach Memoirs) closed just days after opening at the Nederlander Theatre, canceling Broadway Bound two weeks before its scheduled premiere.[5]

Grisetti's actual Broadway debut took place in the original musical It Shoulda Been You in 2015, playing the titular role of Marty Kaufman. He received nominations from the Drama Desk Awards and the Outer Critics Circle for his performance, and won one of two 2015 Clarence Derwent Awards. He returned to Broadway in 2016 to replace John Cariani as Nigel Bottom in "Something Rotten!"

Television and film

In 2007, Grisetti starred in the short-lived ABC sitcom The Knights of Prosperity. On film, he has appeared in The Immigrant (2013 film), The Namesake (2007 film), and others. In 2013, he starred in a pilot for NBC called "The Gates" that was not ordered to series.[6][7]

Publishing

In 2016, Grisetti published a memoir titled God in my Head: the true story of an ex-Christian who met God. His author profile on Amazon states that although he continues to work primarily as an actor in theatre and television, Grisetti "forayed into literature solely in order to share a unique story of gods & dentists."
