Just announced, Josh Stamberg will join the cast of Long Wharf Theatre's world premiere production of Meteor Shower by Steve Martin, directed by Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein.

Stamberg's recent theatre outings include The Power of Duff and Female of the Species opposite Annette Bening (Geffen Playhouse) and Distracted opposite Cynthia Nixon (Roundabout Theatre Company). Mr. Stamberg also co-developed and starred in Tape (productions in New York, Los Angeles, and London). He regularly participates at the Ojai Playwrights Conference and has performed in many L.A. Theatre Works Productions, including the international tour of Top Secret: The Battle for the Pentagon Papers, playing Ben Bradlee. Mr. Stamberg appears on Showtime's Golden Globe Award-winning series "The Affair" as Max. Audiences also recognize him from roles on "Parenthood," "Drop Dead Diva," and "Six Feet Under," among others. Next season, Mr. Stamberg will appear on "Transparent." In features, he recently wrapped Etruscan Sky with Brian Cox. His other credits include Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar, Jill Soloway's Afternoon Delight, Scott Stewart's Dark Skies and Legion, and Stephen Belber's Drifting Elegant.
