	Josh: It's a few things. There's a few different techniques. There's a trigger. There's ~~air~~ techniques. There's a few. What works for me is a combination of both. On ''Heroes'', I had to cry all the way at the end when I saw [[Sylar's mother\|my mom]] dead. What they did was they used a special effect called "tear" and they squirted it in my eye. All it is is water, but it makes it look like it's a tear running down my face.		Josh: It's a few things. There's a few different techniques. There's a trigger. There's stare techniques.

	Josh: Well, the director told me what to do, just like in the other scene. He made me a few landmarks. First I'm starting on the sidewalk by the door of the restaurant. Then I walk to a place to where a few plants are. And from those plants, I go over to my mom. And the the director says, "~~Bleeuuugh~~!" And then I'm supposed to react to a lot of blood flowing out. And then the camera turns over and sees his mom. And also I'm supposed to cry and say, "Mommeee? [''softer''] Mommy." And gradually get louder. I had to say, "[''whispering''] Mommeee. [''slightly louder''] Mommy? [''even louder''] Mo-ommy?" And then, "[''very loud''] MOMMY?!" And then I have to say it really loud and then it echoes and all that.

	Josh: Well, I didn't really have that much to think about. [[Eric Laneuville\|The director]] just told me to walk in with [[Samson Gray\|my dad]]. I go over and my dad points to a table. I sit down at the table and wait for him. Then I'm playing with my car, and I start playing with it on the railing. I don't notice it and it just runs along and it falls. I'm pretty sure there's some sort of tube. And that tube leads down into a cabinet where later you see [[Sylar]] open that cabinet-like thing and he finds the car. [The director] did ask me to be sad. I think the outside part was the harder part.		Josh: Well, I didn't really have that much to think about.

Ryan: Hi Josh, how are you doing!

Josh: Great!

Ryan: So how do you like first grade?

Josh: It's really good, actually. I like the games we play--there's a lot of games involved. A lot of mathematics games.

Ryan: Do you like reading? Are you a good reader?

Josh: Yes, I do. I'm actually at a fourth grade reading level.

Ryan: What's your favorite book?

Josh: It's actually a series. I have two favorite series. I like [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]] and I like ''[[Wikipedia:Magic Tree House|Magic Tree House]]''. My favorite ''Magic Tree House'' book is ''Tonight on the Titanic'', number seventeen. With Beverly Cleary, I like the Ramona books.

Ryan: Oh, I just read ''[[Wikipedia:Ramona and Her Father|Ramona and Her Father]]'' last November! Have you ever read ''[[Wikipedia:Ramona Quimby, Age 8|Ramona Quimby, Age 8]]''? It won an award for the best children's book the year it was written.

Josh: I haven't yet. But I read ''Ramona and Her Father''. That one won an award, too. It's really good.

Ryan: Sounds like you really like Beverly Cleary. You know, she's my second favorite author. You know who my first is? [[Wikipedia:Roald Dahl|Roald Dahl]].

Josh: I love him! He's ''my'' second favorite! I've read ''[[Wikipedia:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory|Charlie and the Chocolate Factory]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator|Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator]]''. Let's see: I just finished reading ''[[Wikipedia:James and the Giant Peach|James and the Giant Peach]]''. Oh, and ''[[Wikipedia:Danny, the Champion of the World|Danny, the Champion of the World]]''. I also read ''[[Wikipedia:Matilda (novel)|Matilda]]''--it's my record holder for [the book I read with the most amount of] pages. It's 261 pages!

Ryan: That's a long book! Josh, tell me why you wanted to become an actor.

Josh: Well, I got to see my mom's videos--she's a documentary producer. So I always watched her. After I watched her a lot of times, I wanted to become an actor.

Ryan: Have you ever had any training to be an actor?

Josh: I worked with [http://www.mariferguson.com/ Mari Ferguson]. I've also worked with [http://www.lisapicotte.com/ Lisa Picotte]. Those are my coaches. Right now I'm only working with one--Lisa Picotte. I'm not working with Mari right now.

Ryan: What do they teach you?

Josh: They teach you how to do cold readings, how to share the stage, how to cry if you need to.

Ryan: How ''do'' you cry if you need to?

Josh: It's a few things. There's a few different techniques. There's a trigger. There's air techniques. There's a few. What works for me is a combination of both.

All it is is water, but it makes it look like it's a tear running down my face.

Ryan: What were you thinking about during that scene?

Josh: I didn't know how to cry then. I was trying to make myself cry, but I couldn't. So finally, the special effects person came over and put the tear in my eye that made it look like I had a tear.

Ryan: How did you get the job for ''Heroes''?

Josh: I auditioned and I got a callback. That means that the casting director likes me. So I went to the callback, and then I got the part. And now here I am, on TV!

Ryan: Was the cool to see yourself on TV?
