Joshua Lee Berresford was born on July 11th, 1978—one of two children to Robert Lee Berresford and Rebecca Sue Cable--in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a small town about forty miles northwest of Pittsburgh. He attended Blackhawk High School, where he was Vice President of his class both in his Sophomore and Junior year. Josh served as Treasurer of the National Honor Society and played tennis, golf, and baseball (and was known as the best pitcher in the Pony League). Josh performed in both of the plays offered by his school during his Senior year.

After High School, Josh attended Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh where he graduated with a B.S.B.A. in Communication Management with a focus on Television Production. Upon graduation in 2000 from the university, Josh rediscovered himself and pursued an acting career. He attended a summer conservatory class at Point Park College in Pittsburgh, and in the fall of 2001, went to audition for his first community theatre play titled Big Bucks, and won the part. Other Pittsburgh theatre credits include productions of Psycho Beach Party, Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?, Torch Song Trilogy, The White Rose, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, A Bad Year for Tomatoes, The Man in the Dog Suit, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Pittsburgh film credits include Missing Jane, Pieces of Johnny, Last Call, and Unrestful.

In October of 2003 Josh relocated to New York City where he studied the Sanford Meisner technique with Nino Murano and Kathryn Gately. Josh also attended the Upright Citizens Brigade, best known for it’s impeccable improv teachings, in New York and partook in the IMTA convention where he was nominated for actor of the year. Since then Josh has appeared in various print ad campaigns, recorded numerous voiceovers, starred in Off Broadway productions, including Birdy's Bachelorette Party, and performs regularly in Off-off Broadway houses, where he has been seen in Forbidden Fruit, Test Tube World, Glass Highways, The Heat in Alphabet City, Last Days, The Wedding Reception, The Grand Guignols, and Edenville.

Josh is probably best known as a television series regular on Dante's Cove, portraying Cory in both seasons one and two. However, his favorite role to date is that of a serial killer in the short film, Take Out. Josh may soon be seen in The Way I See Things, a film slated for release in 2008 or early 2009, written and directed by published fiction writer, Brian Pera. In addition, Josh has just made his debut appearance for the New York City Fringe Theater Festival in the production Pieces on the Board. Josh will be appearing in a featured role in the new indie horror flick, Aversion, with a release in late 2009.

As an actor, Josh Berresford’s future remains bright as the star under which he was born, as he mesmerizes film, television, and theater audiences around the world. He would also like his fans to know that he loves them and appreciates them. He truly has the best fans in the world!
