"What makes Josh stand out is that, not only is [his] performance pitch perfect in regards to the content of the scene and its delivery, it's that he's able to (seemingly instinctively) do each take with the same physical and emotional focus.  For the editor this translates as having more usable options for coverage.  For the actor it means the performance stays intact. 

He's a prepared actor, one who understands the material he's working with and what needs to be done physically and emotionally to make the scene work.  That, in my opinion, is the source of his focus and why he comes "camera-ready."  As a director, cinematographer and editor, I find that he's represent the caliber of performance that I'm thrilled to work with and that an audience would be equally thrilled to watch."

"Josh Murray was an important part of what we were trying to achieve in Blood Rock.  He brought passion, talent, and dedication to the set. His high personal standard was contagious among the cast and crew.  I am sure he will bring these traits to all of his endeavors, whether film or stage.  Our work together was truly gratifying."

"Josh is the actor we all hope for.  His performance was laser-honed and superb. He's fearless; never afraid to try something different.  He took direction better than anyone we've worked with and made intelligent suggestions that bolstered his role.  Most importantly, he was fun to work with.  Hire him.  He'll bring skill, panache and gloss to any project."

"Josh Murray is very professional and a guy you can count on that will not only give you his all, but will also go the extra mile to ensure a pristine performance is delivered. Josh has a range and depth that few actors can undertake and has the ability to carry a strong lead role to a comedic support role. Not only have I worked with him in the past, but definitely look forward to working with him in the future. Josh is going to give you all he has - leaving it out there at the end of the day, through his sweat and tears - whatever it takes. He does not hold back."

"I first met Josh Murray when he was taking a series of actor workshops that I was instructing. He excelled at his craft and sought out additional workshops in the DC area and numerous auditions. He landed several parts, including the lead in an independent feature about relationships, and he was eventually cast as the lead in a 2hr dramatic stage production of Sherlock Holmes. I "witnessed" him carry both (with humility). Josh is an exceptional person with tremendous talent. He approaches scene study and script material with depth, concentration and an ability to search for ways to own the character. He is multifaceted in his analysis of complex relations and the interactions between characters. Josh does not simply settle on first impressions. He steps back, assesses and makes a determined effort to own the character. He takes great care to do his preparation work and reaches out to help other actors and crew. I have used Josh on several occasions for film projects and provided technical assistance to him when he researched police roles (I am former law enforcement). Josh is featured as a SWAT sniper on my film website www.TerrorNetworksScript.com and in the Conflict/Crime photos on my LLC site www.CourageLeads.com. I strongly recommend Josh Murray to any producer, director or actor who desires to work with the "best striving for better." He is giving, gifted and generous. He is the all around good guy (but he can play the tough guy, too)."
