BIO
Josh Kimmel was born in Montreal, Canada
on July 19th, 1978. At only 10 months old, he was brought into the
water, and was able to swim without the aid of a teacher. By the
time Josh reached the age of 6, he began swimming competitively.
At this time he was ranked one of the top swimmers in the
country for this age group and was seen as one of the Top Olympic
Prospect Swimmers (TOPS). At the age of 19, he qualified for National
Championships. As a National level swimmer, he had the opportunity
to compete around in the world in places such as Paris, Israel,
Trinidad & many more. Josh had very high expectations for the
2000 Olympic Trials. Unfortunately his dreams came to a crashing
halt when he got word of his fathers' tragic death. Allan Kimmel,
who was also a competitive swimmer, passed away during swim practice
only 3 months before Olympic Trials.
At 21, Josh decided to give his true passion
of acting a real attempt. This vision was always at the back of
his mind, because as a swimmer, there was no time to focus on anything
else. At the beginning of his 2nd year at McMaster University, he
began to read up on the industry, and see how he can improve his
craft as an actor. Once arriving back into his home town of Montreal,
the time was finally right for him to go full steam ahead.
Once he took classes on audition techniques
and scene study, he felt the time was right to search for an appropriate
agent. Josh landed a few roles in Montreal, Toronto, New York and
Los Angeles, and within only 3 years, he managed to become a full
member of both SAG & ACTRA. Although many feel that acting is
a risky business, Josh chooses to pursue his dream as a working
actor. He explains, "If you want something bad enough, you
will find a way to make it happen". A passionate theory to
live by, but only time will tell what the future can bring.
