My love affair with actor Josh Charles began in 1989 when as a teen I saw a movie that for many had great significance, 'Dead Poets Society'. Though Carpe diem (seize the day) certainly got over used, I cannot deny the power of that statement and the movie at the time.
Since 1989 I my crush has gone from warm to hot through 'Threesome', 'Sports Night' and 'Four Brothers'. Over the past year it got hot again with Josh's appearance on 'In Treatment'. With Josh now a regular on 'The Good Wife' it is as strong as ever.
If you are not watching 'The Good Wife' you have to ask yourself why. Firstly it is a great concept, putting a new spin on the courtroom drama. Secondly it is fully stacked with amazing actors from Josh and the main cast through supporting players Joe Morton, Alan Cumming. Archie Panjabi is also a standout playing a great role. Also, since it is filmed in New York you will see many familiar faces from the New York stage. Superb acting and directing are just the icing on the cake. It is no wonder Entertainment Weekly named 'The Good Wife' televisions best new show.
Josh Charles has been mainly working on television the past few years but besides his extensive movie career, Josh has an extensive theatre background. Josh appears to take great care in choosing roles both on stage and on film. This has resulted in some outstanding performances. Hopefully the 'The Good Wife' will stick around for awhile so I don't need any more breaks from my Love for actor Josh Charles.
