Josh J. Brolin (born February 12, 1968) is an American actor. He has acted in theater, film and television roles for over 23 years, and won acting awards for his roles in the films No Country for Old Men and Milk. His other notable films from 2007 to 2008 include In the Valley of Elah, and American Gangster, and W.. Brolin was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of Jane Cameron Agee, a wildlife activist and native of Corpus Christi, Texas, and actor James Brolin. His stepmother by his father’s current marriage is Barbra Streisand.
Brolin has been married to actress Diane Lane since August 15, 2004. Brolin has two children, Trevor Mansur (b. 26 June 1988) and Eden (b. 1994) from a previous marriage to actress Alice Adair. On December 20, 2004, Lane called the police after an altercation with Brolin and he was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of domestic battery.

On July 12, 2008, Brolin was arrested, along with actor Jeffrey Wright and five other crew members of W., after an altercation at the Stray Cat Bar in Shreveport, Louisiana. Brolin was released after posting a cash bond of US$334. Of his arrest, Brolin told a reporter, “It was nice to be in jail knowing that I hadn’t done anything wrong. And it was maddening to be in jail knowing that I hadn’t done anything wrong.” Charges against all seven men were later dropped by Shreveport prosecutors.
