Joe trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. He left
early in his final year in order to star in the BBC epic
Rhodes (1996). The
mini series was at the time the most expensive series the BBC had ever
made and it brought with it a huge amount of attention.
He is probably most familiar to TV viewers as prison officer Dominic
McAllister in the incredibly popular ITV series Bad Girls (1999).
Joe has managed to successfully straddle film/TV work with his work in
the theatre and is also an accomplished writer/director. His first
short film
Passing Through (2002) was well received and played at several
international festivals.
