Early life and career
[edit]Hamilton is the son of actors Sandra Kingsbury and Dan Hamilton.[1] His former stepmother was actress Stephanie Braxton.
His Broadway credits include Proof and The Coast of Utopia (2007, Lincoln Center). Hamilton performed in The Cherry Orchard at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in January and February 2009, alongside Ethan Hawke, who was his co-star in the 1993 film Alive. In November 2010, it was announced that both Hamilton (Tom) and Dane Cook (Carter) would star in Neil LaBute's Fat Pig. This marked LaBute's Broadway directorial debut.[2] In 2011 Hamilton starred as Torvald in Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.[3] Hamilton has also performed on PRI's Selected Shorts, reading Neil Gaiman's story The Thing About Cassandra.[4] In late 2012, he appeared on Broadway in Theresa Rebeck's short-lived new comedy Dead Accounts, starring Katie Holmes and Norbert Leo Butz.
Hamilton starred as Agent Justin C. Garrick in the 2023 Peabody Award–winning film Reality, retelling the story of young American whistleblower Reality Winner's FBI interrogation that ended in her arrest.[5]

Gaiman's own story, The Thing About Cassandra also dissolves the boundaries between real and imagined life. It's read by Josh Hamilton—whose stage credits include Proof and The Coast of Utopia, and whose television credits (almost de rigueur for SHORTS readers) include Law and Order. Hamilton is making his Shorts debut with this reading.
