ADD TRIVIA
- On September 20, 2008, Josh married Jill Stonerick at a ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Rachel Bilson, who worked with him on The O.C. and introduced him to Jill, was the bride's maid of honor.

ADD QUOTES
- Josh: (on shooting in New York City) I always feel like an outsider here, so the show's a chance to romanticize this city. It's my own way of getting into this [unattainable] world.

- Josh: You have to know what your story is and really try to stick to that. But it's also really valuable to hear people's response along the way – it's a balancing act, to balance the two.

- Josh: (on the audience of "The O.C." and "Gossip Girl") I love writing for this audience. They're so passionate. When you're a teenager and you connect with something, you connect with it in such a profound way.
