Biography
Joe made his acting debut with the 1991 film Antonia and Jane (1991) which was followed by a role in the 1996 television film adaptation of the novel The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
He then made guest appearances in television series such as The Bill, Dangerfield and Silent Witness.
He joined EastEnders in 1997 and his main claim to fame was in the Saskia Duncan murder storyline in 1999 when his character Matthew Rose was wrongly imprisoned for the murder by the real culprit Steve Owen (played by Martin Kemp). After departing from the show in February 2000, he won the Best Actor Award at the British Soap Awards.
