JOSHUA MALINA Biography
After graduating from Yale University with a B.A. in Theatre Studies, Joshua made his professional acting debut in the Broadway production of Aaron Sorkin’s A FEW GOOD MEN. He went on to star as Jeremy Goodwin in Sorkin’s critically acclaimed television series SPORTS NIGHT. Later, Josh co-starred as Will Bailey in Sorkin’s multi- Emmy winning THE WEST WING. Other Sorkin credits include the hit features THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT and MALICE.
For three seasons, Joshua portrayed multi-millionaire Peter Alpert on USA Network’s hit IN PLAIN SIGHT. Film credits include the comedy A VIEW FROM THE TOP with Gwyneth Paltrow and Mike Meyers, IN THE LINE OF FIRE with Clint Eastwood, and BULWORTH with Warren Beatty and Halle Berry. For seven seasons, Joshua co-starred as David Rosen on ABC’s hit show SCANDAL.
A co-creator of Bravo’s hit show CELEBRITY POKER SHOWDOWN, and a co-host of the podcast THE WEST WING WEEKLY, Josh was seen recently as Arthur Tipping on the final season of SHAMELESS.
A graduate of Westchester Day School, Josh has been active in Jewish affairs for some time. He appeared in the Jewish Federation’s “Live Generously” campaign, and starred in a video aimed at Jewish high school students, to prepare them for the possibility that they’ll face an anti-Israel climate on college campuses. In an appearance on “Celebrity Jeopardy,” Josh won $50,000 for Bet Tzedek, a pro bono law firm in Los Angeles. In 2012, he took Mazon’s SNAP Food Stamp Challenge, and discussed the experience on Current T.V.’s The Young Turks. Over the last 15 years, Josh has spoken at dozens of Federations and Hillels across the country.
In January of 2022, Joshua launch a podcast with Rabbi Shira Stutman called CHUTZPOD! On it, he and the rabbi use ancient texts to look at modern life through a Jewish lens. Raised in New Rochelle, New York, Joshua now resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
