Over the years, Josh Lucas has mostly stuck to character roles in smaller independent films, while occasionally moonlighting in bigger Hollywood pictures. You might remember him being Reese Witherspoon’s love interest in Sweet Home Alabama. Unless you are a cinephile, you probably do not recall him in anything else, off the top of your head. Remember A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe? Lucas plays the rival and later rival of John Nash. He also played a banker in the bloody thriller American Psycho, the evil corporate kingpin in The Hulk, and more recently famed aviator Charles Lindberg in Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar

Josh Lucas has even joked that his baby son does not look good on photographs. He said that his child is remarkably unphotogenic, although he is a great looking kid. He stated this while on Jay Leno’s show:

Nevertheless, he admits fatherhood is the best thing that ever happened to him and that he is head over heels for his 10 week-old-baby. Lucas is mesmerised at how the little blob can communicate with him and his wife by means of smiling and through the magical little moments that happen only very briefly through the day.

For now, his main activity is parenthood, since it takes up most of his time. Although he was the main character in the drama TV series The Firm, NBC did not want to sign for a second season, due to low ratings. Thereby, Lucas can concentrate all his love and attention towards his little baby boy.
