Joshua Morrow Discusses Crew’s Debut

Josh Morrow appeared on the Michael Fairman Channel for a livestream interview. He talked about the aspects of his soap career. His son is following his footprint.

Joshua made his debut on Y&R when he was just 19 years old. He revealed how his son Crew started his soap acting career.

“This is something enormous for us. I’ve got four children, and this is the son that has picked up a new passion and hobby every six months of his life,” Josh declared. “He was on his way to go to school in Oregon, and he took his final trip with his mother, and he got on the plane. He goes, ‘You know what? I’m not going to do this. These aren’t my people. I’m just going to go home and write movies and be an actor.”

Joshua had a serious discussion with Crew. He warned him that it was not going to be an “easy” transition. Crew already took one acting class up to this point. Josh introduced him to his manager. Crew landed roles in movies and a role on The Bold and the Beautiful.
