Josh Killian

About Me

My name is Josh Killian and I am an actor, currently living in WInston-Salem, NC. I graduated Western Carolina University in May of 2022 and I am planning to move to Charlotte, NC, along with my wife in early 2025. Until then, I am hungry to chase my dreams by submitting to as many film auditions as I can, while being represented by Evolution Talent Agency. Even though film acting is something I want to concentrate on, I still have experience and enthusiasm for stage performance!One thing that excites me as a performer is being able to move. Sports has been one of my first experiences with movement and I love the adrenaline that comes with it. I can say the same thing as a performer, because it allows me to experience the same excitement I have always received from exercising and moving in general. I also love moving, because I get to push my boundaries with how I can move, which can result in me learning a new skill or being more flexible as a performer (pun intended).Within my second year of college, I took a film class, because I have been actively interested in cinema for a while. I never knew too much about film, how to dissect it, or critique them. After taking that class, I can say it peaked my interest in film even more and I cannot wait to keep learning about the art of the industry that I am getting myself into. Although I’m still learning, I am able to look at film in a new light and break it down to help develop my own characters, either in performance or writing.One experience that always stays with me is the first film I acted in during college. I was a freshman, so I have never taken any film classes whatsoever. Even though it seemed completely foreign to me, I had my first experiences developing a process as an actor. I always take away from that experience and it gives me motivation and a drive for the future ahead of me in my career! Thanks for getting to know a little bit about me!

News/Upcoming Projects

I am currently living in the Winston-Salem, NC since 2022. I am looking for film projects in the surrounding area or beyond, whether it be short or feature length films. I am also occupying and expanding my acting knowledge by reading. I am currently reading Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey; an autobiography about his adventures and life lessons, which he amalgamates into what he calls "a survival guide to life."

October 26th, 2023

As of September 23rd, 2022, we opened our first main-stage production of the year, A Midsummer Night's Dream, at WCU. I play Demetrius in this Appalachian take on a Shakespeare Classic, which has been cut down to 90 minutes. This has been my absolute favorite show to act in at WCU! I have opened up more than ever as an actor while working on this show and I am extremely grateful for this experience!

On July 24th, 2021, I married the love of my life, Rachel Swink Killian (formerly, Rachel Megan Swink). We are happy and excited for the future!
