Get to know Josh Canfield
Josh Canfield's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Claim to fame
- Writing and directing my first musical in London and being the first person in my family with a Master's degree.
- Hobbies
- Writing songs, going to the gym, Settlers of Catan, movies and going to the dog park with our dog.
- Pet peeves
- Idiots, loud Americans in foreign countries, most audition waiting rooms, people who will only see one side of an argument and many more.
- Inspiration
- My dad. He has always treated my mother with respect and admiration and through selflessness has shown what marriage was intended to look like.
- Castaway they say they are most like
- There hasn't been any one like me. I'm going to pave my own way.
- Why they wanted to play
- After each episode I watch from home I say "I want to do that!" The challenges, the mind games, the pushing your body to its limits, it all get me so excited!
