The acting was the thing that actually changed Boone’s life and made it better; he had loved performing for as long as he can remember and wanted a career out of it, but to get that college was the first step, but he didn’t want to study acting in college, he had no plans of studying anything at all.

For Boone, college was just a “housing and a meal plan” he wanted to enroll in a college that was located in Los Angeles, where booking tons of acting gigs just happened naturally, planning on going for academic probation, where for the first year he would not study anything and try to get into movies, but things changed when he didn’t receive enough financial aid to go to school out of state. He went through his backup plan: attending Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts for a year, reapplying to L.A. schools, and final step movies.

In 2006, Boone enrolled in the VCU School of Business, where he majored in business, but During his first year at VCU, he was dying to act; he missed the stage so badly that he ended up auditioning for the musical “Smokey Joe’s Cafe” and surprisingly got the lead in TheatreVCU’s and his show-stopping performance convinced his parents that he should change his major and pursue his dream of becoming an actor.

Being a nontheater student getting a lead was a big deal, Broadway veteran Patti D’Beck, director and choreographer at the VCU Department of Theatre, had all praises for Joshua Boone; she was so impressed by how he had just entered the room and changed the whole dynamics of it, his acting was transparent inside and outside in a beautiful way, Patti was intrigued by Boone that she even went to hear him sing at the church choir.
