What is the best part
about working on Passions?
Josh says: The people we work with, cast and crew, have become like family. And hearing from someone who enjoys my work feels pretty good too!

Are you and Juliet
friends off the set?
Josh says: Yes we are friends; but we spend so much of our day together that when we go home time prohibits doing anything together very often. Juliet and her husband, Maxwell Caulfield, my mother, and my manager were the only ones we had join us for my birthday dinner. It really felt like a small family event. I have adopted Juliet and Maxwell and the rest of their family.

How involved do you
get with the special effects? I’m interested in knowing...I find them fun and
not at all cheesy...I especially liked the Cemetery fire scenes....
Josh says: We have experts that handle the details of special effects. Sometimes the fire is real and often other things are real too – water and wind stunts, etc. Everyone has to be on his or her toes and pay attention, and do their part to prevent any problems.

What is it like
working on a Soap Opera on a typical day. Also, do you have any advice for
people like me who want to become actors? Thanks!!
Josh says: If you do not want to be an actor with all your heart and soul, do not do it. It takes a lot of hard work and a lot of good luck. However, if it is your passion, then go for it!
As for working on a soap, I have never worked so hard in my life. We do an episode every day.

Why does Tabby have an
accent but Timmy doesn't?
we love u Tabby and Timmy. keep up the good work and the plans to destroy
Charity.
Josh says: Tabitha was raised by parents with British accents, and Timmy has been raised by a British "nanny" who also speaks in tongues and spells, and by the all American television. If you listen close, you can catch him using words like bugger or bum, or 'Herbs' not 'erbs'

You and Juliet have
had many hilarious scenes together. Do you have a favorite?
Josh says: Maybe the first scene together should be on the top 10. We hadn’t really even met each other and the next thing we know, she is on a bike with me in a basket on the handle bars and all we know is that the script says, "Tabitha slams on brakes and Timmy goes flying headfirst into the sidewalk." Neither one of us knew what to do. She wasn’t going to let me get hurt, and I wasn’t eager to get hurt either. My poor mother just stopped breathing for about an hour. However, then we met the Timmy doll. And he go to do the stunt. I guess we should have told my mom first, ha ha!

Where would you both
like to see your character a year from now? Still plotting Charity's demise or
perhaps causing mischief for some other poor, unsuspecting citizen of Harmony?
:)
Josh says: A year seems so long – can’t really think that far ahead. One day at a time.

Josh, would you ever
want Timmy to become a real boy? Thanks!!!
Josh says: As I said before, Timmy is real to me. He only doesn’t get older, but neither does Tabby. 300 years old looks good on her.

If you could trade
roles with anyone else on the show, which characters would you like to try your
hand at?
Josh says: I would like to be a Crane. Have you seen their mansion? It might be fun to play Tabitha, just to get to be so bad.

Who on the show do
like to interact with most?
Josh says: Tabitha and I spend most of the time together, but everyone is fun in one way or another. Ben Masters is hysterical, and all the women are, well, you’ve seen them.

Professionally
speaking, who inspires you?
Josh says: The obvious answer is Juliet Mills, but it’s true. She is amazing. I have also been very fortunate to work some of the best. David E. Kelley is indescribable as a writer. Ron Howard has inspired me to pursue directing. He is magical to watch work. Jim Carrey is a comic genius. Beau Bridges has to be one of the most giving and caring men I have ever met. The entire cast of Ally McBeal are extraordinary. Calista Flockhart is so professional yet charming and kind I really love her like a sister. In addition, Peter McNicol is one of the most talented actors I’ve ever known. Peter taught me so much about what I do, and he believed in me enough to get me my first chance. I will always be grateful to him. He’s my hero.
These are just people I have worked with who inspire me. The list of others that inspire me is way to long to put here.
Tom Hanks
Jimmy Stewart
Steven Spielberg
Robin Williams
Whoopee Goldberg
And so on and so on and so on….

Do you think you would
have preferred to play a person instead of a doll on the show? In my opinion,
Tabitha should turn Timmy into a real kid. I think it would be much more
satisfying without Tabitha always threatening to unscrew Timmy's head, even
though it is funny.
Josh says: To me Timmy is a real person; he has feeling, fears, hopes, dreams and his own special life.

Are there any plans to
somehow make it so Timmy is a permanently real live boy and/or warlock with
powers of his own?
Josh says: I really haven’t any clue what will happen to Timmy. I personally would enjoy Timmy getting some powers of his own to play with.

How would you feel if
somebody came out with a line of talking Timmy dolls? It could say things like
"No Princess, don't hurt Charity" "Help, Fluffy is after Timmy" and "It's
Martimmy time!"
Josh says: I think I would LOVE a TIMMY DOLL. I’d like to be involved in what he looks like and stuff like that but I think it would be very cool to develop some kind of Timmy Doll. I’m not sure if I like a collectable version with different outfits Timmy has worn or a doll that could be played with and held by children. I really like the Idea of a doll that looks like me being there for a little kid who’s afraid of the dark. However, I also think Timmy has had such great outfits that it would make quite a collection. Maybe both?

Timmy, do you like
being carried around and wearing costumes?
Josh says: It depends who’s carrying me and what I’m wearing.

I love the outfits you
wear for the show!! Do you like to dress up in the costumes?
Josh says: I’m an actor. Costumes are port of the job. Some are better than others are.

Which [costume] is
your favorite so far? I must say that I have 3 favs so far: your smoking jacket,
Sherlock Holmes & the wizard.
Josh says: "Matrix Man" is my favorite so far.

Josh, about your
birthday present from Juliet... I have two Himalayans of my own so I am curious
as to what you finally decided to name your birthday present from Juliet?
Thanks.
Josh says: Her name finally has become "Samantha" like on "Bewitched". She wiggles her nose when she sniffs.

I admire your acting
and great timing. And I’m in love with your mischievous and devilish looks, your
sad faces, your happy faces and the authority you have given to Timmy. My
question is, have other little people set you up as an idol or role model, and
do you see greater possibilities for little people in TV?
Josh says: I couldn’t really say how someone may think of me. If I am a role model of some kind, then I hope it is because I’m living proof that it’s not the size of the dreamer – It’s the size of the dream that is important. My size is not why I’m an actor. I’m an actor because acting is my dream. I can play roles that may be a small stature role like a child or living doll or elf, etc. However, I believe I can also act in a role that isn’t size specific. My acting skills didn’t come in a package deal "short, but can act" type of thing. Nor do I believe that a woman over 40 cannot act or someone overweight or not great looking. There are all kinds of people in the real world. Actors are people pretending to be other people. Why shouldn’t a wheelchair bound actor or an older actor or minority’s actors or small stature actors or whatever have the chance to act in any role the are able to perform. I feel the differences in us are what makes us special.
