Josh Hopkins

A talented actor with leading man good looks, Josh Hopkins played one of Demi Moore's fellow Navy SEALs in "G.I. Jane" (1997) and joined the cast of "New York Undercover" (Fox, 1994-98) for its final season. He proved he could tackle action in the George Clooney disaster film "The Perfect Storm" (2000) and comedy in the indie "Love & Sex" (2000), but made his biggest mark on television. He romanced Calista Flockhart on "Ally McBeal" (Fox, 1997-2002) in the show's final season, took over the Russell Crowe role in the TV adaptation of "L.A. Confidential" (FOX, 2003), and booked long-running turns on "Pepper Dennis" (The WB, 2006), "Brothers & Sisters" (ABC, 2006-2011) and "Swingtown" (CBS, 2008). He broke out as the outwardly gorgeous but inwardly goofy neighbor-turned-boyfriend to Courteney Cox on "Cougar Town" (ABC, 2009-12; TBS, 2013-15), winning over critics and audiences alike. He capitalized by headlining the Kristin Chenoweth holiday beefcake confection "12 Men of Christmas" (Lifetime, 2009) as well as the bittersweet indie "Lebanon, Pa." (2010). A low-key, quirky comedic heavy hitter, Josh Hopkins possessed movie star aura but even more impressively, a go-for-broke dedication to any role he played whether on the big or small screen.
