Joshua Ryan "Josh" Hutcherson[1] (born October 12, 1992) is an American film and television actor. He began working in the early 2000s, appearing in several minor film and television roles. He gained wider exposure with major roles in the 2005 films Little Manhattan and Zathura, the 2006 comedy RV, the 2007 family adventure film Firehouse Dog, and the film adaptations of Bridge to Terabithia, Journey to the Center of the Earth and Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. On March 30, 2008, Hutcherson won a Young Artist Award (for Leading Young Actor). Hutcherson was also featured on a Celebrity Teens edition of the hit show MTV Cribs, and is set to portray Robert in the Red Dawn remake and Peeta Mellark in the upcoming 2012 film The Hunger Games.

Early life

Josh Hutcherson was born in Union, Kentucky. His mother, Michelle, is a former Delta employee who now assists Josh, and his father, Chris Hutcherson, is an analyst for the EPA.[2] He has a younger brother, Connor, as well as many pets, including two dogs, Diesel and Nixon (a boxer).[3] He has wanted to be an actor since he was four years old,[4] but had only begun auditioning for roles in 2002, at the age of 9.[5] He moved from Union to California, due to limited acting opportunities.[6]

Career

Hutcherson at the premiere of Cirque du Freak in 2009.

Hutcherson's first role was in the 2002 pilot episode, House Blend; in the same year, he appeared in an episode of ER. In 2003, he played the lead role in the comedy Miracle Dogs (which was released on Animal Planet), starred opposite Peter Falk and Timothy Daly in the made-for-television film, Wilder Days, and had a minor role in the well-reviewed independent film, American Splendor. He performed for the motion-capture imagery in 2004's The Polar Express.

In 2005, Hutcherson appeared in several Hollywood films: he had a minor role in the Will Ferrell comedy Kicking & Screaming, voiced Markl in the animated film Howl's Moving Castle (June), and played the lead roles in Little Manhattan (September) and Zathura, which was released in November to positive reviews. The following year, Hutcherson appeared in the comedy RV, playing the son of Robin Williams's character, and subsequently played Jesse Aarons in the drama Bridge to Terabithia, which was filmed in New Zealand[7] and released on February 16, 2007, performing well critically and commercially. He had not read the novel that the film is based on before being cast in the role.[7][8]

Hutcherson's next role was in Firehouse Dog (released on April 4, 2007), in which he played Shane Fahey, a firefighter's son who befriends a dog.[9] Hutcherson filmed Firehouse Dog before Bridge to Terabithia, though the latter film was released first.[10] His next roles were in the "very dark"[9] independent film drama Winged Creatures,[11] and playing the nephew of Brendan Fraser's character in Journey to the Center of the Earth,[7] a new 3-D film version of the novel of the same name; filming on Journey, which was released on July 11, 2008, began in Montreal in June 2006 and ended in October of that year.[7][9] Hutcherson also appeared in a film adaptation of the book Cirque Du Freak.

In 2010, he had a supporting role in the critically acclaimed movie The Kids Are All Right, playing Laser. Hutcherson has said that he would like to appear in every type of film genre.[9] On April 4, 2011, Lionsgate announced that Hutcherson had been cast as Peeta Mellark in the upcoming 2012 film, The Hunger Games.[12]

Personal life

Hutcherson has cited actor Jake Gyllenhaal as an inspiration.[8] On August 11, 2007, Hutcherson served as the Grand Marshal at the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series Meijer Indy 300 at Kentucky Speedway.[13] In September 2008, he went to Italy for the first time. He visited Rome and Milan, and participated in a local event about kids and cinema.[14] Hutcherson recorded a video for the "Straight but not narrow" campaign, designed to encourage young, straight men to come out in support of their gay peers.[15]
