Having spent over 30 years in the entertainment industry and the last 20 years teaching actors, Joe has formulated a simple and concise approach to the art of acting. Created and built by him, The Actor Space is a place for individuals to nurture their growth as actors through weekly classes, workshops and seminars in order to get them to the next level in their acting career.

Joe was trained by some of the masters in the art of acting. Lee Strasberg, Milton Katselas and Martin Landau influenced and shaped his approach to the work, having spent a total of 12 years under their tutelage. As an actor, Joe has appeared in numerous plays, films and TV series. For two seasons he appeared as Officer James Trapido on the award-winning series Hill Street Blues, and on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives as the nefarious recurring character Werner. Comedically, he's also worked with James Belushi in the Universal Studio film K-911. Joe has also worked with Teri Hatcher, James Earl Jones, Michael Landon, Tom Beringer and Dennis Franz.

Although Joe has a strong commitment to his actors at The Actor Space, he makes time to attend the International Model and Talent Association convention, which meets annually in New York City. While there, he judges competitions and conducts acting seminars for hundreds of actors from around the United States and from abroad. In a discussion with the founder of IMTA, Helen Rogers, Joe was asked to conduct a seminar specifically geared toward the cold reading/audition process. The seminar was so well received he has since traveled to numerous acting schools across the country teaching his technique.
