Joshua "Josh" Evans (born January 16, 1971) is an American filmmaker, screenwriter, author and actor best known for his role in Born on the Fourth of July.
Evans was born in New York City to actress Ali MacGraw and producer Robert Evans. He has one son, Jackson (born December 2010), with his wife Roxy Saint. Evans‘ mother was of Hungarian-Jewish and Scottish descent, and his father is Jewish. Evans is also the nephew of the late producer Charles Evans, Sr., the stepson of the late actor Steve McQueen, and the stepbrother of actor and race car driver Chad McQueen. He grew up in Los Angeles and graduated in 1989 from the private Crossroads School in Santa Monica.
He earned a Young Artist Awards in 1998. He went on to produce, direct, write and act. Most notably, he acted as Ron Kovic's hippie younger brother in Born on the Fourth of July, which won a 1990 Golden Globe Award, and John Lithgow's character's servile assistant in Ricochet.
'The Daily Press's Kevin Thomas called Inside the Goldmine, in which Evans starred in 1994, a "meaningful look at a nihilist" and "the kind of film that could be made only by someone prepared to strive for self-knowledge."
He followed Inside the Goldmine by producing and directing the 35mm Glam, which a Los Angeles Times review called "an edgy tale of Hollywood innocence, corruption."
About Evans's third independent film, The Price of Air, a Los Angeles Times review pointed out that "Evans also stars, giving a persuasive portrayal as the naive but likable slacker, Paul... ."Variety wrote about the plot, which includes the lead character agreeing to courier a package of illicit drugs, "Conceptually, it’s an intriguing notion for a movie... ."
