Born Joseph Anthony Napoli, March 11 1976, in Hoboken NJ, raised in Secaucus and Jersey City, attending "The School for Film and TV" 2 year Meisner Program in NYC. Not only a performance intensive program, but all aspects of film and TV are required training such as, directing, producing, writing, and cinematography. Long before attending film school, Joey pounded the streets of NYC performing in any and all sorts of "off Broadway" and" off off Broadway" shows for years before attending a formal acting class. Immediately comfortable on stage, mostly for being a goof ball, he took a few different acting classes, with scene studies, and performance showcases, meeting industry people, leading him to "The School for Film and TV". Whilst attending, Joey continued to perform on stage as well as landing roles in quality independent and student films. Sticking it out in NYC for many years after completing the 2 year Meisner Program, he packed the car and headed west. Landing in L.A. in 2002, continuing to pound the streets, he has attached himself to great projects, both acting and writing, and good people ;-)
