What Does Josh Do for Work?

Ali and Steve divorced in 1978 and she decided to make her return to acting. Her son followed in her footsteps, though a Hollywood career was not initially in his plans. 

“I think the first job I ever wanted to do was not in the film business,” he said in a March 2016 interview with Crypticrock.com. “I was not one of these kids who wanted to be an actor, it just came about. I was definitely going to be in film, but I didn’t know it would be to this extent. You wake up one day and you cannot believe you are where you are.”

Josh snagged his first film role in 1989’s Dream a Little Dream. He also had roles in Born on the Fourth of July, The Doors and The Price of Air before realizing directing is his true passion. 

“I am definitely more comfortable on the side of the camera that does not show myself,” he explained. “If an interesting opportunity presents itself, I am not opposed to it. I think there are other people out there who are more qualified and want it more than I do. As far as directing and telling my stories, I would do that for free, whereas acting is more of a job, but I enjoy it once I do it.” 

Does Josh Have Any Kids?

The Death in the Desert director married his first wife, ​​Charis Michelsen, in 2003. The pair were officially divorced in 2012. He wed his second wife, Roxy Saint, in 2012 after welcoming one child together, son Jackson. Ali and Robert were happy to become grandparents. 

Over the years, Josh maintained a close bond with his parents. “He’s so wonderful,” Ali said about her son in a June 1991 interview with The Washington Post

He also attended his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2012. The Paramount executive died in 2019 at the age of 89 but shared a rare photo of his adorable grandson on Twitter years before.
