Josh Flitter

Recently I had the honor of interviewing actor Josh Flitter.  Continue to read and learn more about him and his new DVD “Snowmen.”

R:  Please tell our readers a little bit about yourself?

J:  I am a professional actor. I have been acting since I was 5 yrs old. I have appeared in over 10 feature films including Nancy Drew, Big Mommas House 2 , The Greatest Game Ever Played, Ace Ventura Jr, License to Wed and now Snowmen. I am a senior in HS and I have an older brother named Scott and 2 dogs, Lucy and Richter.

R:  Tell us a little bit about who you got into the acting business?

J: My mom introduced me to a local talent manager Tamara Markowitz of TM Talent here in NJ when I was 5 and the rest is history.

R:  Tell us about your up and coming dvd “Snowmen.”

J : In Snowmen, there are a lot of twists and turns and surprises. It’s a journey of one boy who thinks his cancer comes back and wants to do something to be remembered. He encounters bullies along the way and I am the lead bully Jason. I don’t want to give away the ending but it is amazing.

R:  What was the audition process like for this movie? Where were you when you found out that you got the part?

J: The Director Rob Kirbyson had seen me in another movie I had done and knew who I was. He was like, do you think Josh would do it if we asked him to? So I read the script and fell in love with it and the character Jason, which I play. And I think I was at home when I found out I had gotten the part.

R:  What was it like working with Christopher Lloyd? Did he five you any advice when you were filming?

J: I didn’t have any scenes with Christopher Lloyd unfortunately but the other kids all said he was really great and they enjoyed working with him.

R:  There has been a lot of remakes of older movies lately.  If you could remake a movie, which one would it be and what actor would you like to play?

J:  If I could pick a remake of a movie, it would probably be the Blues Brothers or Animal House. Of course I would play the John Belushi roles!

R:  Tell is about the North Shore Animal League.

J: I have been involved with the North Shore Animal League now for many years and they are a wonderful organization that helps to save the lives of many dogs and cats that might have otherwise been killed. They are a no kill animal shelter that helps to find good adoptive homes for these animals. I have been a part of the Muttigrees program for the past few years and I help the organization get the word out to adopt these wonderful dogs and cats. They also get medical attention to those abandoned animals that need it,

R: Tell us about the ‘Bullying… we’re Kickin It’ campaign and your involvement.

J: I have just started working with Kickin It. It’s a national organization started here near me in NJ by and woman named Gina Marie. She is so passionate about what she does that it’s contagious. I visited the after school program where some kids go to talk about what they are going through and I have also helped out at events-  like the one we had recently in NYC at the Hard Rock Café. I also participated in a kickball game at my school to kick out bullying. Kickin It empowers kids to be strong and to feel good about themselves and teaches them self worth and how they are important in the world and to not let bullies stand in their way.

R:  Who are your favorite bands and singers? What are your favorite songs by each one?

J: My favorite band right now has to be COLDPLAY..Chris Martin is amazing .I love the song Paradise from Mylo Xyloto.  That’s their new album.
Also I have to say I really like a lot of different artists. Jay Z, Kanye West , Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mike..I also love the older music from bands like the Beatles, Queen and Led Zeppelin.

R:  What are your future goals?

J: Right now I have acting for sure in my future. I can’t see myself doing anything else. Maybe directing or producing films one day also. I have applied to five colleges right now so I have a lot of decisions to make this year.

R:  What is the best advice you have ever gotten and by who?

J:   When I was younger my mom always taught me not to get upset if I didn’t get a movie or some sort of job because it probably meant something better was waiting for me down the road. I try to always keep that in mind so I don’t get bummed out if I don’t get something. Also to always be myself and not try to be something you’re not. Just be real and honest and people will respect you more.

R:  What advice would you give someone who wanted to become an actor?

J:  My advice is to believe in your self and to never give up. If acting is your passion then do it, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t or that it’s impossible. Nothing is impossible.

R:  Other than this one, what is the strangest question you have ever been asked?

J:   Have you always been this height?

R:  Are you on any social networking sites?  If so, which ones and what are their addresses?  Do you have an official website?  If so, what is the address?

J: yes you can find me on twitter @josh_flitter. I also have a website www.joshflitter.com

R:  Is there anything else you would like to add or say to your fans?

J:  Please follow me on twitter..it’s the best way for my fans to keep in the loop on what I am doing now and in the future..

R: Josh, thank you for the interview. Have a great day.
