Alexander Joseph(III)
- Actor
Alexander Joseph was born in Boston, Massachusetts, lived in Dorchester
for about a week, and was raised in Marshfield, a Boston suburb. His
interest in acting and writing came around age six, when he was cast as
a cow in a summer camp play. After managing to get a rewrite (the cow
became a parrot), Alexander never lost his love for performance,
eventually majoring in Fine and Performing Arts at Massachusetts
College of Liberal Arts. In his third year at MCLA, an administration
change resulted in the repression of student-created theatre projects.
This prompted Alexander and his friends to start an underground theatre
movement, which, though perfectly legal and permissible by college
rules, landed him in hot water with the Fine and Performing Arts
administration. Alexander left MCLA after the Fall 2010 semester.
Around this time Alexander started doing more and more acting,
including a production of Midsummer Night's Dream where he stepped in
to play Theseus with fourteen days until opening. In the theatre
community in the Boston area, he has gained a bit of a reputation for
taking roles at the last minute when an actor gets sick/drops out. He
has done the same in productions of Hamlet, The Actor's Nightmare, The
Unfortunate Cutthroats, and the wold-premiere staged reading of the
Comic-Con dramady True Believers, where he played a character inspired
by comic writer Grant Morrison.
