Career

For some actors, making it big happens almost overnight, but that isn’t the case for most of them. Although Joseph began as a child actor, he had to ‘hang in there’ for quite a while before he got roles in any big shows or films. In 1990, Joseph appeared in the TV series ‘The New Adam-12’, but it was later that his acting career really took off. When he was 17 years old, he landed a role in the film ‘Rudy’. He played the role of a young Johnny Wilson, and had roles in ‘Early Edition’ and eventually starred in ‘ER’, ‘Criminal Minds’, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and ‘Without a Trace’.

This cemented Joseph in the acting industry, and he also made appearances in ‘CSI: Miami’, and the ever-popular ‘Prison Break’.

Two years later, Joseph returned to the theatre, with ‘The Freedom of the City’, however, it is for his role in ‘Power’ that Joseph is most famous for; he got the role of Tommy Eagen. and starred alongside Omari Hardwick and 50 Cent from 2014 until 2020.

During the ‘90s, Joseph was part of a band who called themselves ‘The Delicates’, but it isn’t clear what his role in the band was. Interestingly, people sometimes describe Joseph as a double of the popular rapper, Eminem. Joseph and his one brother Albin look so much alike that many people think the two are twins.

Relationships

It is believed that Joseph married his non-famous wife in 2014 – he has been doing a great job at keeping his marriage a secret.

Not much is known about his wife, but she’s believed to be a make-up artist, and one report by ‘The Net Line’ indicates that Joseph met his wife on the set of the popular crime drama ‘Boardwalk Empire’.

It has not been confirmed, but it’s believed that Joseph and his wife live in Manhattan. He is yet to open up about his private life to give fans all the details they’re so hungry for.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Joseph was dating Lala Anthony, the actress who plays his love interest in ‘Power’. There has never been an affirmation from either of them that they were romantically involved in real life.
