Originally from Louisiana, Josh studied at Gallaudet University before being cast in Deaf West’s groundbreaking revival of Spring Awakening.

Since then, Josh’s work has spanned community stages to network television, short films to music videos, commercials to collaborative workshops. He’s performed with artists like BD Wong, Marlee Matlin, Camryn Manheim, Russell Harvard, Michael Arden, American Authors, and Ingrid Michaelson, always bringing his signature blend of precision, play, and heart.

Rooted in his Cajun upbringing, Josh brings warmth, curiosity, and generosity to every room he enters. He believes everyone has a voice—and his mission is to make sure it’s heard, however it’s expressed. For more visit Joshuacastille.com
