Josh Hopkins talks 'easy chemistry' with 'Mail Order Monster' co-star Charisma Carpenter

In 'Mail Order Monster' Hopkins plays Roy, a widower who struggles for normalcy even as his daughter refuses to be a part of the new normal.

Most of us know and love Josh Hopkins as Dime Eyes aka Grayson Ellis of ‘Courgar Town,’ or more recently, Liam of ‘Quantico.’ However, his role as Roy in the Paulina Lagudi film ‘Mail Order Monster’ is not like anything you have seen before. A widower, struggling to keep his still-mourning daughter happy even as he tries to move forward in life, Roy is a man we can all root for. He is "deeply wounded but manages to repair himself and find the strength to go on in order to help his daughter have a happy life,” as Hopkins explains. He tells Meaww, “I had to really think about the pain he carries with him, even in good times. It will always be a part of who he is.”
