Josh Hopkins Movies
Son of former Kentucky congressman Larry Hopkins, Josh Hopkins' first onscreen acting job was in 1995's Parallel Sons when he was 25. He found steady work with roles in G.I. Jane and The Perfect Storm, but his real break came when he was cast on the show Ally McBeal in 2001. Hopkins' successful TV run continued as he was cast as a regular on Pepper Dennis, and in reoccurring roles on the shortlived Vanished and with his Ally McBeal cast mate Calista Flockhart on Brothers & Sisters. He was then cast as one of the lead roles in the 2007 series Swingtown. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
After having received mediocre ratings for some time, this was the last season of Ally McBeal. Featuring actor and singer Jon Bon Jovi as Victor, Ally's newest boyfriend, this season gave Ally something she had always longed for -- a family. When Maddie Harrington (Hayden Panettiere) came to Ally's doorstep and informed Ally that she was a mother, the famously neurotic lawyer finally found something to focus on besides her own life. Though Ally had never gotten over Larry (Robert Downey Jr.), she was able to find some semblance of emotional gratification with her daughter. In the end, Ally decided to move to New York for Maddie's sake and leave the past five years of her life in Boston. Though some of the shows staple characters departed -- Ling (Lucy Liu) and John (Peter MacNicol) were the only regular cast members for part of the season -- everyone grew and, in general, became more mature versions of their former selves. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
