He's the son of actor James Brolin, stepson of Barbra Streisand and husband of Oscar® nominee Diane Lane, but Josh Brolin's accomplished family isn't his only claim to fame. Josh has made a name for himself in his 20 years in Hollywood, with roles in films like The Goonies, Hollow Man and Grindhouse.

Josh has spent the past several years wowing audiences and critics with his performances in movies such as American Gangsterand last year's Coen brothers hit No Country for Old Men.

This year, Josh continues his streak in Milk as San Francisco Supervisor Dan White, who assassinated follow Supervisor Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. This is his first nomination.
