Josh Peck (IG: @shuapeck) has established himself as one of Hollywood's rising talents, making the seamless transition from child actor to leading man. He’s starred in feature films and is best known for his role on the Nickelodeon phenomenon Drake & Josh (2004-2007) for which he received a Kids’ Choice Nomination.
