Josh Burdett secured the lead role in newly released ‘Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace’, directed by Ali Zamani. He plays Gabriel, a Gulf War veteran with PTSD and haunted by guilt. A mysterious mentor figure appears to him in the shape of the mercurial Cuba Gooding Jr.’s character, Balthazar. With his guidance, Gabriel realises his true purpose of fighting for God against a growing satanic army. Burdett and Gooding share the screen together with fantastic chemistry.

Josh Burdett is known for his roles in Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated film ‘Loving Vincent’, ‘WarHunt’ and his recurring role in HULU Original ‘Find Me in Paris’. He has just wrapped on TV series ‘Gandhi’(Hansal Mehta) and the film ‘Murder at the Embassy’ (Lionsgate) alongside Mischa Barton.

Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace is an action-adventure fantasy film starring Josh Burdett, Cuba Gooding Jr. (Oscar winner for ‘Jerry Maguire’)Denise Richards and Randy Couture. Other names including Arifin Putra, a huge star from Indonesia, as well as Korrina Rico and Michael Teh are among the principal cast.

Josh said: “This is a great film that combines a lot of action and adventure, but also deeper moments about good versus evil, and about atonement for our pasts. I loved the energy on set during this whole project – I met some really wonderful people. It was an unforgettable experience for me to work with a legend like Cuba, and to get to share the screen with a star like Denise Richards as well.”

The film was shot on location in Georgia and Los Angeles, and was directed by Ali Zamani, an award-winning director and filmmaker whose work includes countless music videos and films such as the first instalment of the Angels Fallen franchise.

Josh added: “If you had said to me 15 years ago that I would be the lead in a film also starring Cuba Gooding Jr. and Denise Richards, shooting in Hollywood, I don’t know if I would have believed you! The whole experience felt like a realisation of dreams and ambitions that I have held for a long time, since I was a kid. Both Cuba and Denise are so lovely in real life – friendly and kind. They really were a pleasure to work with. I felt so lucky to get to do all Cuba’s scenes with him and to share the screen together. He is a true professional and I got the chance to watch and learn from him on set. I’m so grateful for that, and I’m really grateful to Ali and Zeus Zamani for believing in me to carry the role of Gabriel.”

Who else but hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss could “spill the tea” on their weekly show “If These Walls Could Talk” live from Pangea Restaurant on the Lower Eastside of NYC, with their unique style of honest, and emotional interviews, sharing the fascinating backstory of celebrities, entertainers, recording artists, writers and artists and bringing their audience along for a fantastic ride.   

Joseph Nybyk will be a featured guest on “If These Walls Could Talk” with hosts Wendy Stuart and Tym Moss on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026 at 2 PM ET live from the infamous Pangea Restaurant. 

Wendy Stuart is an author, celebrity interviewer, model, actor, filmmaker and along with If These Walls Could Talk, she hosts TriVersity Talk, a weekly web series with featured guests discussing their lives, activism and pressing issues in the LGBTQ Community. 

Tym Moss is a popular NYC singer, actor, and radio/tv host who recently starred in the hit indie film “JUNK” to critical acclaim.

Joseph Nybyk is an award-winning writer, actor, director, and stand-up comedian with a career that bridges both the creative and business sides of Hollywood. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, he moved to Los Angeles in 1997 and began his career in the marketing department at Paramount Pictures before serving as a creative executive at Landmark Entertainment, where he worked under James Cameron and Michael Jackson. That early industry experience gave him a rare, inside-out understanding of how stories are made—and sold.

Joseph left the corporate world to pursue acting full-time after landing a role in Jerry Maguire, launching a performance career that includes over fifty national commercials and appearances across film and television. As a filmmaker, he has written, directed, and starred in numerous short films, web series, and independent features that have screened at festivals around the world. His work has earned awards for Best Film, Best Short, Best Screenplay, and Best Director, as well as Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the provocative short The Day the Rabbit Died. His short Feeling Blessed got into virtually every faith based film festival and two Academy Award nominating festivals. He made this short back to back with a horror short titled Lights Off that got into 10 of the most prestigious horror film festivals in the world. His indie feature Ocean Front Property, which he wrote, directed, and starred in, marked his feature debut. He has since continued developing and financing original projects while optioning scripts to multiple producers.

A veteran of the stand-up comedy circuit, Joseph’s comedy blends sharp observation with personal storytelling, often drawing from his time bartending at the legendary Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. His routine has taken him to clubs, colleges, theaters, and casinos nationwide, and in 2025 he was named Best Comedian by Tucson Weekly. He is also the founder of the Faith in Film International Film Festival, dedicated to supporting meaningful, faith-driven storytelling. Joseph holds a Master’s degree in Film from the New York Film Academy. He is a proud alumnus of the University of Arizona and continues to balance performing, filmmaking, and developing original content from his home base in Arizona and California.
