Josh Gad is an acclaimed American actor, singer, and comedian, best known for voicing the beloved snowman Olaf in Disney’s Frozen franchise, originating the role of Elder Arnold Cunningham in Broadway’s The Book of Mormon, and portraying LeFou in the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
Gad will next be seen in A Tree Fell in the Woods, starring opposite Alexandra Daddario and Daveed Diggs. The film is slated to premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. He recently completed filming Alex Winter’s Adulthood, in which he stars alongside Kaya Scodelario.
Currently, Gad is in pre-production on both the sequel to Spaceballs for Amazon MGM Studios, which he is producing with comedy legend Mel Brooks, and New Line’s Chris Farley biopic, which he will direct with Lorne Michaels producing.
In Fall 2023, he returned to the Broadway stage in Anthony King and Scott Brown’s Gutenberg! The Musical!, opposite Andrew Rannells.
His performance as Olaf earned him two Annie Awards, while The Book of Mormon garnered him a Grammy Award and a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical. On screen, Gad has appeared in a wide range of films including Murder on the Orient Express, The Wedding Ringer, and the critically praised Marshall. Additional film credits include Little Monsters, The Angry Birds Movie, Frozen II, The Internship, and Love & Other Drugs.
On television, Gad played a fictionalized version of himself opposite Billy Crystal in FX’s The Comedians, and starred in Armando Iannucci’s HBO series Avenue 5. He is also the co-creator and star of Apple TV+’s hit animated series Central Park, created with Bob’s Burgers‘ Loren Bouchard. Other TV appearances include Peacock’s Wolf Like Me, as well as roles in New Girl, Modern Family, and 1600 Penn.
In 2024, Gad published his children’s book PictureFace Lizzy, illustrated by Marta Kissi. His memoir, In Gad We Trust: A Tell-Some, was released in 2025 through Gallery Books.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gad created and hosted the YouTube series Reunited Apart, which brought together the casts of iconic films such as Back to the Future and The Lord of the Rings via virtual reunions.
