==Personal life==
Malina was born in New York City. His parents, Fran and Robert Malina, were founding members of Young Israel of Scarsdale in New Rochelle where he grew up.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Vindicator - Google News Archive Search )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Actor Casts His LotWith Jewish Ideals - Arts )〕 His father was an attorney, investment banker and Broadway producer. The actor has commented that while the name "Malina" does not sound Jewish to most people and often leads them to assume he is Latino, the name is Polish in origin, from the "Polish () for 'raspberry.'"〔Alan Pergament. "'West Wing' speechwriter addresses celebrity politics," ''The Buffalo News'' (NY), September 13, 2005, page E7.〕
Malina graduated from Westchester Day School from 8th grade and the Horace Mann School and Yale University with a B.A. in Theater. He made his acting debut in the Broadway production of Aaron Sorkin's ''A Few Good Men'' and later in the play's run moved into a major role. Malina had contacted Sorkin initially at the suggestion of his parents when he first went to New York City, as they knew Sorkin was a high-school classmate and friend of Malina's cousins. The cousins, in turn, had spoken highly of Malina to Sorkin, who suggested he audition for the play.〔Rick Kushman. "White house rookie – Joshua Malina rode the inside track to NBC's 'West Wing,'" ''The Sacramento Bee'', March 2, 2003, page TK24.〕 Malina has joked in interviews that Sorkin's casting him in subsequent productions may owe to the fact that he once performed the Heimlich maneuver on Sorkin, saving his life, when the writer began to choke while eating a hamburger at a bowling match with the cast of the play.〔〔Kevin D. Thompson. "A familiar face, a singular faith," ''Palm Beach Post'', November 30, 2005, page 1E.〕 He has since appeared in many Sorkin film and TV projects.
Malina is married to Melissa Merwin, a costume designer whom he met in 1992 through his friendship with her sister, Jenny, and ex-brother-in-law, actor Timothy Busfield; Jenny Busfield predicted the marriage two years before the couple ever met.〔 Melissa converted to Judaism under Conservative auspices.〔http://www.sg.ufl.edu/Documents/Accent/transcripts/JoshMalina.txt〕 The Malinas married in 1996 and have two children, Isabel and Avi.
