Even as a young man growing up in historic Grafton, WV, Joseph Moreland showed a passion and talent for acting. His first "major" role was Oliver Hix, one of the Barbershop Quartet members in "Music Man" as a Junior in High School. Now, as a SAG-Eligible actor with an extensive list of IMDb TV and film credits (and growing), several of which are now streaming, such as "Casting Stones", "I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)", "Between Mercy and Me", "Alan and the Rulers of the Air", "One Cop's Journey", "Butterfly (Short)", and "Cobra Kai", Joseph has taken the passion that started on the stage in high school to the next level.
