Early life
Peck was born in the Hell’s Kitchen area of Manhattan, New York
City, where he attended The Professional Performing Arts School.
His parents were unmarried at the time of his birth and he has
never met his biological father. He grew up with his Jewish mother,
Barbara, who is a career coach, and his maternal grandmother.
Peck had asthma during his childhood, and often stayed indoors
watching old sitcoms. He performed in children’s musical theater
at New York’s TADA! Youth Theater when he was nine years old. He
was inspired to become involved in stand-up comedy when he
was eight years old.
7
Career
Peck subsequently appeared in local children’s theatre, as well as
performed stand-up comedy at the Caroline’s Comedy Club for
the Audrey Hepburn foundation. At the age of 13, he was offered
a role on Nickelodeon’s The Amanda Show and, at his mother’s
suggestion, accepted the part and moved to Los Angeles to
further pursue an acting career.
Peck made his film debut in the 2000 film Snow Day, and appeared
regularly on The Amanda Show until the end of its run in 2002. He
also starred opposite Alex D. Linz and Zena Grey in the theatrical
film, Max Keeble’s Big Move, which was released on October 5,
2001. In 2001, he guest starred in an episode of the popular NBC
drama ER called “Thy Will Be Done”. During this period, Peck
appeared in several independent films, including Spun and 2004’s
Mean Creek, for which he received critical praise. He was cast
as Josh Nichols, opposite Drake Bell’s Drake Parker, in another
Nickelodeon sitcom, Drake & Josh, which began airing in 2004
and gained Peck recognition among young audiences. Peck’s
character, Josh Nichols, was smart, funny, and organized, but
was always being tormented along with Drake by Megan Parker
(Miranda Cosgrove), Drake’s younger sister. Both characters sing in
a remake of the song “Soul Man” by Sam and Dave. In 2006, Bell
and Peck starred in their own TV movie called Drake & Josh Go
Hollywood, and in 2007, they starred in a sequel called Drake &
Josh: Really Big Shrimp. Josh was nominated for Favorite Television
Actor at the 2008 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for his work
on Drake & Josh. Peck also made his debut as a director in the
Drake & Josh episode, Battle of Panthatar. He has also appeared
in the series finale of What’s New, Scooby-Doo?, an episode of
Codename: Kids Next Door called Operation: C. A. K. E. D. -F. I.
V. E. , and the direct-to-video New Line Cinema film Havoc. Peck
returned to the character of Josh Nichols in 2008 for the television
film Merry Christmas, Drake and Josh.
In 2006, Peck appeared in the independent film Special, which
premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and he voiced Eddie,
one of two possum brothers, in the animated sequel, Ice Age: The
Meltdown, which was released on March 31 of that year. Peck
played a high school bully in 2008’s Drillbit Taylor, and starred in
the films The Wackness (released July 2008), American Primitive,
Safety Glass, and reprised his role as Eddie in Ice Age: Dawn of the
Dinosaurs. He will also appear in the remake of Red Dawn.
In 2011, Josh had a cameo role on the hit Nickelodeon show
8
‘Victorious’ as an audience member for a play Jade wrote. Also
in 2012, Peck once again reprised his role as Eddie in Ice Age:
Continental Drift.
Personal life
Peck’s favorite actors and inspirations are Richard Pryor, Oprah
Winfrey, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Lewis, Bill Cosby, Ben Kingsley, and
Morgan Freeman. Peck, like his Drake & Josh co-star and real-life
best friend, Drake Bell, plays the piano. In the third season of Drake
& Josh, Peck was significantly thinner than he used to be, and
by the fourth season of the show, he had lost even more weight.
According to a 2006 interview, Peck stated that:
“
I made a conscious effort to lose weight because I knew
I could be happier as well as being healthier. I started by going
on a diet a year and a half ago and I got a personal trainer, but
I definitely have a healthier lifestyle now. Also I feel that because
I do so much television, I am a better role model. I don’t really
understand why I should be a role model, but I know that kids do
look up to me, so it is my responsibility to motivate people and be
inspiring. I hope that I can do that for kids. It doesn’t really matter
what you look like though, it is who you are that matters, of course. ”

ATM is a horror film directed by David Brooks and starring Brian
Geraghty, Alice Eve, and Josh Peck.
Plot
The film opens with an unknown man drawing and organizing
diagrams to the song Silent Night. He picks up his parka coat and
leaves.
While attending a Christmas party, David (Brian Geraghty) offers
to drive his co-worker, Emily (Alice Eve), home. Reluctantly, he
allows his friend Corey (Josh Peck) to accompany them. On the
car ride, Corey asks David to pull up at a local ATM. Corey and
David enter the ATM to withdraw money, and shortly after, Emily
joins them. When the three are about to leave, they turn to see a
hooded figure lurking outside. While Corey suggests they return to
the car, Emily and David are reluctant, believing the figure to be
a robber. Although they are scared, they realize the figure cannot
get in without an ATM card. The hooded figure murders a local
man walking his dog, prompting the three to call the police, only to
realize they had left their cellphones in the car. While the three are
panicking inside, the hooded figure cuts off the heater in the ATM
booth, effectively making it colder. David decides to reason with
the hooded figure, and attempts to give him 500 dollars, valuable
earrings and a watch in return for their safety. While giving the
money to the hooded figure, he runs back to the car, attempting
to grab Emily’s phone to alert the police. He is chased to the car,
gets the phone and realizes the wires have been cut preventing
the car from being driven. The hooded figure then attacks him by
11
smashing out the passenger’s side window. He escapes the car
and is chased back to the ATM booth, unharmed, but drops the
cellphone along the way. Emily uses her lipstick to write “HELP” on
the ATM booth’s window.
As the three begin to freeze, a security guard sees the sign and
goes to investigate, but is beaten to death by the hooded figure
in the process, leaving them hopeless. Another man with a similar
coat to the killer enters the ATM, but Corey and David manage
to kill him by strangling him. They later realize that the man was
innocent and was only going to work. Corey grows angry and tired
and attempts to leave the ATM booth, but is caught and stabbed
by the hooded figure. After several more hours freezing in the ATM
booth, David and Emily realize Corey is still alive. They both run
outside, grab him, and manage to return to the ATM booth before
the hooded figure gets to them. While David and Emily attempt to
stifle Corey’s bleeding wound, the hooded figure begins to fill the
ATM booth with cold water, attempting to freeze them to death.
Corey eventually dies of blood loss and hypothermia. David and
Emily concoct a plan to trigger the fire alarm to send for help. Emily
climbs on David’s shoulders and manages to get a flame close
enough to the fire alarm and is successful, but David slips and Emily
falls, smashing her head and dies. Angered, David attempts to
throw a flaming bottle of vodka at the hooded killer, only to realize
that it is not the killer, but the body of the killed security guard. The
police arrives and David is arrested.
While David is being driven away, he sees several figures in similar
parkas as the killer, still unsure of who the masked madman could
be. The police find a video tape recording the events within the
ATM, but it is made obvious that the killer had planned his actions
so as not to appear in the footage, effectively framing David for
the killer’s crime. In the final scene of the film, the hooded figure, still
unknown, returns to his headquarters, where he begins to map out
similar attacks on a mini-mart.

Aliens in the Attic is a 2009 American family science fiction comedy
film produced by 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises and
starring Carter Jenkins, Ashley Tisdale, Robert Hoffman, Henri
Young, Regan Young and Austin Butler. The plot revolves around
the children in the Pearson family having to defend their vacation
house. The film was previously titled They Came from Upstairs, which
is instead used as the film’s tag line. A video game of the same
name was released as well.
Plot
A meteor shower rockets through open space. Four glowing pods
are seen hiding behind the meteor shower. Suddenly the meteor
shower makes a hard right and heads towards a distant planet
Earth.
In a Chicago suburb, Stuart Pearson (Kevin Nealon) and his wife
Nina (Gillian Vigman) head a family that includes 7-year-old
Hannah (Ashley Boettcher); 17-year-old sister Bethany (Ashley
Tisdale), who’s just returned from a secret outing with her boyfriend
Ricky Dillman (Robert Hoffman), and 15-year-old techno-geek
Tom (Carter Jenkins) whose high school grades are low. Deciding
the family needs some good old-fashioned togetherness, Stuart
takes them to a holiday home in the middle of nowhere. Joining
them is Uncle Nate (Andy Richter), Nate’s 14-year-old son Jake
(Austin Butler), Nana Rose (Doris Roberts), and identical 12-year-old
twins Art (Henri Young) and Lee (Regan Young). Ricky also arrives
unexpectedly and talks his way into staying overnight.
That night dark storm clouds swirl around the house. Suddenly,
the four glowing pods land on the roof. An alien crew emerges,
made up of Skip (J. K. Simmons), the tough commander, Tazer
(Thomas Haden Church), a muscle-bound dude armed to the
teeth, Razor (Kari Wahlgren), a lethal female alien soldier, and
Sparks (Josh Peck), a four-armed techie, who is the only nonthreatening intruder. Since the aliens knocked over the satellite dish
Ricky and Tom are sent to fix it. Ricky then reveals to Tom that he
lied about everything so far, his car didn’t break down, his parents
14
don’t own a lake house, he’s a lot older than 18. Ricky is actually in
college and is five years older than Bethany. They find the satellite
is beyond repair. Investigating further they discover the aliens. Skip
tries to lull Tom and Jake into a false sense of security, but fails. Ricky
is captured and implanted with a mind control device. The aliens,
called “Zirkonians”, via Ricky, lay claim to the planet (when asked
why they didn’t just say it themselves Skip responds, “This way is
more fun. “) Like a puppet/robot, Ricky grabs the boys - but Tom
and Jake break free.
It isn’t long before all five kids have seen the aliens. Tom takes
charge and the kids discover the mind control device only works
on grownups, giving them a fighting chance. They realize the
have a responsibility to protect the adults by keeping the aliens’
existence a secret. Left on their own, the kids create makeshift
weapons, like a home made potato spud gun. They even obtain
and learn to use the mind controller. They soon take control of
Ricky and turn him against the aliens.
The adults remain oblivious and insist the youngsters go on a fishing
expedition. Meanwhile Hannah and gentle tech Sparks become
friends. Unlike his alien cohorts, Sparks hates battle; he just wants
to return home to his family. As the aliens attack, the kids start to
fight back. Meanwhile, Jake gets captured by the Zirkonians and is
tied up and in the basement. Nana Rose comes under the control
of the mind control device, which gives her super-human strength
and agility. Under the control of the kids, she comes to their rescue
and fights off Ricky, who is again under alien control. Nana gives
Ricky a huge electric jolt, causing the alien plug to dislodge. Ricky
then and there breaks up with Bethany because she talks about
feelings and family too much.
The kids finally reveal to Bethany what’s going on, and Sparks helps
by making weapons for them. He also reveals the aliens want a
device hidden under the basement which will make them grow
giant. After rescuing Jake, the kids defeat Skip, Tazer and Razor,
who flee on their teleporting machine. Sparks calls off the invasion
and returns home. The rest of the vacation goes back to normal,
except the kids grew closer to each other during their adventure.
In the distance, Skip (apparently thrown clear when his ship left)
appears, bent on revenge against the humans, but meets his
demise when a crow flies by and carries Skip off to its nest to eat
him.
