JOSH COXX
Lifetime Network is slated as the leader in women's television for good reason, as evident on Sunday nights when Strong Medicine fills the TV screen. The show's popular resident nurse and midwife is a woman's dream: tall, distinguished features, eyes that make the term "piercing" seem not so cliche, and male. It's no wonder the drama is primed to air its 100th episode!
Josh plays the atypical role of Peter Riggs, RN. The New York native prepared for his character by actually studying and spending time with working midwives in Los Angeles. A graduate of the prestigious Actors' Conservatory at S.U.N.Y. Purchase College -- a program where less than half of the freshman class survive. Coxx first received recognition as a regular on ABC's One Life To Live. After a year of daytime in the New York studios, Josh headed to Hollywood's primetime scene, portraying a diverse range of characters on shows such as Friends, the critically acclaimed drama Once and Again, Providence, Babylon 5, UPN's Sliders, and most recently in this past season's NYPD Blue.
Not one to be outdone, Coxx has shown his acting skills on the big screen as a star in the films The Retreat, and Backgammon, which was presented at both the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals. He also landed supporting roles in Wes Craven's feature The People Under The Stairs, and the independent features Runaway Eden and The Zig-Zag. On stage, Coxx has performed in Hamlet, American Buffalo, and Prairie Avenue. He studied improv at the acclaimed Groundlings Theatre and even fit into his schedule a trip to Aspen where he performed at the Aspen Comedy Festival.
While his current role on Strong Medicine displays a stereotypical soft side, Coxx's outside activities may be considered the opposite. Josh's enviable physique can be attributed to any one of his numerous activities, from competitive surfing to snowboarding, kick boxing to yoga to rescue diving. Yes, rescue diving. Strong Medicine's tattooed resident midwife is PADI certified in rescue diving, and NASDS certified in over-ocean helicopter rescue and diver retrieval. Believe it or not, an altruistic actor does exist.
