Josh Gad

Josh Gad, born 23 February 1981 in Hollywood, Florida, is an American actor, comedian, and singer best known for his work in film, television, and theater. He first gained wide recognition as an original cast member of the Broadway musical The Book of Mormon, a role that earned him a Tony nomination and connected to a Grammy win for the show's cast recording.

Gad's biggest crossover into music came through voice acting, most notably as the lovable snowman Olaf in Disney's Frozen (2013) and its sequel, performing songs including «In Summer» that became instantly recognizable to a generation of family audiences. He has continued to lend his voice and comedic timing to animated projects, including The Angry Birds Movie (2016), while also appearing in live-action films such as Love and Other Drugs (2010) and the stage-to-screen production of Beauty and the Beast, where he played LeFou opposite the film's ensemble performing «Gaston».

Though not a traditional recording artist, Gad's musical output is closely tied to his screen and stage roles, blending Broadway-honed vocal comedy with the warmth of family-friendly storytelling. His performances sit at the intersection of theater, film, and pop-adjacent soundtrack work, making him a familiar voice on songs drawn from major animated and musical productions.
