Josh Brolin is an American actor who was born on February 12, 1968. He is a son of actor James Brolin and gained fame in his youth for his role in the adventure film The Goonies in 1985. He had a resurgence with his starring role in the crime film No Country for Old Men in 2007, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for playing Dan White in the biopic Milk in 2008.
His career progressed with roles in W. in 2008, True Grit in 2010, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in 2010, Men in Black 3 in 2012, Inherent Vice in 2014 and Hail, Caesar! in 2016. He gained wider recognition for playing Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Avengers: Infinity War in 2018 and Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and for playing Cable in Deadpool 2 in 2018.
How Josh Brolin makes his money
Marvel was a big boost. Playing Thanos, the main villain of two of the highest-grossing films ever made, and Cable in Deadpool 2 raised his fee for later roles.
He has also been a regular in director Denis Villeneuve's films, including Sicario in 2015 and the Dune series, where he plays Gurney Halleck in Dune in 2021, Dune: Part Two in 2024 and Dune: Part Three in 2026. Roles in successful, large-budget science fiction films bring steady paychecks.
In 2019 he founded the production company Brolin Productions, whose first project was the crime comedy film Brothers in 2024, which adds a possible income stream as a producer.
His career had a long middle stretch of supporting roles before a resurgence after 2007, which means much of his higher earning came in his forties and fifties.
