This is my job,\u2019\u201d he said on a recent episode of the \u201cHow We Made Your Mother\u201d podcast<\/a>. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Josh<\/strong> also talked about the minimal creative control he had over portraying a flawed character on the show.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my job to be truthful and bring this stuff to life. And it wasn\u2019t my job to hijack the script and say, \u2018You know what? I think [this] should really happen,\u2019\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, as for Josh<\/strong>\u2018s life outside the show, he recently discussed the unusual story about how he met his now-wife<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
