Joseph Basile was born and raised in White Plains, New York by Italian grandparents. His parents had no time to watch him and his younger sister Cathy because they were busy working to support the household. Joseph struggled in school because he learned Italian before English due to his grandparents. Joseph took it upon himself to teach himself everything and was accepted into Pace University after High School. Joseph later Graduated with a Business Degree in Management and went into business with his father Frank, doing Landscaping. Joseph got the acting bug at 25 years of age and sold his business portion back to his father to pursue acting. Joseph's constant wonder and curiosity about the entertainment business will make him a person with a strong backbone and a will that can not be denied.
