Are you willing to test your wits against Josh Lucas trivia to see how much you really know about your favorite Hollywood actor? Let’s begin with simple, personal information. For one Lucas has an interesting birth name. It’s Joshua Lucas Easy Dent Maurer. He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on June 20, 1971. His parents decided to give him the name “Easy” because his time in utero as well as his delivery was both easy.

Here’s a piece of Josh Lucas trivia that might surprise you. His mother went to Emerson College alongside Jay Leno. Also, his parents were hippie anti-nuclear activists who traveled all over the South when he was young. They traveled so much that by the time Lucas was 13 years old, he had lived in thirty different places. Josh did not attend college to prepare for his career in acting. After graduating from high school he moved to Hollywood and not long after he landed guest starring roles in television sitcoms such as Fox’s True Colors and the CBS private-eye show Jake and the Fatman.

The role that helped catapult Josh into stardom is when he played Jake Perry, opposite Reese Witherspoon, in Sweet Home Alabama. Before that he had high-profile roles in films such as the Academy Award winning film, A Beautiful Mind in 2001, action-adventure movie The Hulk in 2003, and Oscar-nominated film Poseidon in 2006 and comedy Life as We Know It, released in 2010. This bit of Josh Lucas trivia is just the tip of the iceberg.
