Joe has had an interesting journey in the entertainment industry. He’s been in front of the camera, behind the camera, set on fire, and received his MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA’s prestigious film school. He’s had the privilege of working with Warren Beatty, Katherine Hepburn, and Mike Nichols – to name a few. To date Joe has been cast in over twenty-five television shows (CRIMINAL MINDS, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, ER, WITHOUT A TRACE, 6 FEET UNDER, SEINFELD, and CSI to name a few) and fifteen movies (8 HEADS IN A DUFFLE BAG, GIA, PAPARAZZI, and THAT THING YOU DO). Working both behind and in front of the camera was a valuable lesson in movie making for Joe. He has seen the collaboration it takes to get a movie made.
Emotion is physical. An Actor's performance should reflect that. Most importantly, everything serves the story.
