Josh Hopkins is an American actor and musician best known for his roles in the television series Cougar Town and Ally McBeal.
Josh Hopkins was born on September 12, 1970, in Lexington, Kentucky. His father, Larry Hopkins, served as a U.S. congressman. Hopkins completed his early education in Lexington, attending the Sayre School. A talented athlete, he played basketball for his high school team. He went on to study at Auburn University, where he received formal training in voice and theater. After college, Hopkins returned to Lexington to begin his acting journey with the Actors Theatre of Louisville.
Hopkins began his professional acting career on stage, debuting in the play The Picnic. His first film role was in the unreleased independent movie Parallel Brothers, in which he had a minor part. His breakthrough came in 1999 when he portrayed a fictionalized version of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in the television film Pirates of Silicon Valley.
He went on to appear in a number of films, including the romantic comedy Love & Sex, the anthology film Auto Motives, the ensemble comedy The Opposite Sex, and Car Dogs. While his film roles were generally less high-profile, they contributed to a diverse acting portfolio.
Hopkins found more consistent success in television. In 1998, he joined the cast of the final season of New York Undercover. He garnered significant attention for his role in the legal dramedy Ally McBeal, a widely watched series at the time. He also had memorable guest appearances in popular crime shows like Bones and Cold Case, where his on-screen presence and chemistry with cast members were frequently noted by viewers and critics alike.
In 2006, he played womanizer Charlie Babcock on the comedy-drama Pepper Dennis. That same year, he was cast as Peter Manning in the Fox series Vanished, although the show was discontinued after one season. Hopkins reunited with his former Ally McBeal co-star Calista Flockhart in a recurring role on Brothers and Sisters. He also appeared in Alanis Morissette’s music video for “Unsent” in 1999.
In 2008, he starred in the CBS drama Swingtown, which portrayed the shifting cultural and social dynamics of the 1970s. While the series courted controversy for its depiction of open marriages and party culture, it developed a cult following despite being canceled after one season.
Hopkins is perhaps best known for his role as Grayson Ellis in the comedy series Cougar Town, which ran from 2009 to 2015. Starring opposite Courteney Cox, the show initially focused on older women dating younger men, but later evolved into a wider ensemble comedy. Hopkins' portrayal of Grayson, a charming bartender and love interest to Cox’s character, was widely appreciated and became a defining part of his career.
In addition to acting, Josh Hopkins pursued music as a personal passion. In 2006, he independently released a music album titled Feigning Interest. The album, released online, reflected his interest in songwriting and offered a collection of original tracks. While not a commercial hit, it was well-received by his fan base and reflected his versatility as an artist.
Hopkins has been the subject of public interest regarding his personal relationships. In 2011, he was seen dining with Courteney Cox, leading to speculation about a romantic relationship. However, both parties later clarified that they were just friends. In a separate instance, his father told the Daily Mail that he supported any relationship his son endorsed. Later, Hopkins was linked to professional dancer Cheryl Burke, known for her championship runs on Dancing with the Stars.
With a career spanning theater, television, film, and music, Josh Hopkins has built a varied portfolio that showcases his talent across multiple entertainment platforms.
