Actor and comedian Josh Thomson has a unique ability of being able to bring humour to almost any script. Whether he's faux-suaving his way through a Cash Converters hard sell, laying cool as a possum in a Toyota TVC or screaming madness as a rotund ginger child in the animated series "Barefoot Bandits", Josh can make the comedy hit when and where it needs to.
Josh has voiced numerous commercials for a great range of products like biscuits, cars, finance and road safety. He's even narrated TV series for kids, adults and Australians. His smooth timbre, ability to take direction and also throw unexpected offers into the mix make him an indispensable talent.
