Josh Peck Posts Throwback From His 2012 Film, Joking About Playing Chris Hemsworth’s Onscreen Brother

As an ardent admirer of Josh Peck’s versatile acting prowess, I find his journey through Hollywood to be nothing short of captivating. From his humble beginnings on Drake & Josh to sharing the silver screen with some of the biggest names in the industry like Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, and even the legendary Robert Downey Jr., Peck has truly come a long way.


In a departure from his usual comedic posts, Josh Peck recently shared some insights about his role in the 2012 film, Red Dawn. Specifically, he discussed his portrayal of Matt Eckert, a character who is Chris Hemsworth’s on-screen brother within the movie.

On Instagram, Josh Peck shared an old photo for Throwback Thursday, featuring him alongside the Australian actor known for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The picture shows them both wearing camouflage outfits and sporting serious expressions.

In the post’s heading, the comedian humorously reminisced about an old time (Throwback Thursday) when a big film studio thought Chris Hemsworth and I could portray siblings. Keep being delusional, everyone.

Engaging their feelings, his fans joined the discussion area beneath the post to participate as well.

Some made lighthearted comparisons between him and Hemsworth, while a few others nostalgically recalled the movie.

Calling the 2012 remake a “great movie,” a fan stated he had gotten “invested; I saw the vision.”

Meanwhile, another follower wrote, “If you squint hard enough, you can see what they saw.” 

If you’re unfamiliar, the 2012 version of Red Dawn is actually a modern reinterpretation of the 1984 movie that was widely beloved. In the original, stars like Charlie Sheen and Patrick Swayze graced our screens.

This remake will be celebrating the 12th anniversary of its release on November 21.

Actually, it turns out that the production studio Josh Peck mentioned on his social media is none other than MGM/UA Entertainment Company – the very same one responsible for releasing the 1984 action-thriller film we all know and love.

Lately, Josh Peck graced our screens in the Christopher Nolan film, Oppenheimer. His appearance was notable amidst an illustrious ensemble including Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Emily Blunt, Jack Quaid, and others.

In the mentioned film, Peck portrayed Kenneth Bainbridge, the scientist responsible for initiating the detonation of the world’s first atomic bomb.

The movie boasted an impressive cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, David Dastmalchian, Casey Affleck, and Gary Oldman, all of whom are well-known figures in the film industry.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I must mention that one of the notable roles in Josh Peck’s acting career is his portrayal of Josh Nichols on the beloved teen comedy sitcom, “Drake and Josh,” which aired on Nickelodeon from 2004 to 2007. This iconic TV show brought him into the limelight.

Since 2012, you can find Peck appearing in various sitcoms, such as How I Met Your Mother and Grandfathered.
