Joe Peer

Joe knew he wanted to be an actor since he was eight years old. He didn't follow his passion until he enrolled into Long Beach City College and took an acting class. After that he was hooked. Having plans to go to Long Beach State University he decided instead to study with The Inner City Cultural Center in Los Angeles where he studied for three years under the centers Artistic Director; C. Bernard Jackson. At The Inner City Cultural Center Joe worked in a wide variety of plays playing a wide range of characters. It was at Inner City that Joe met a young George C. Wolfe in which Joe performed in two original productions by Mr. Wolfe. He was also in the touring company of C. Bernard Jackson's - Iago, an award winning adaptation of Shakespeare's - Othello. Having many stage credits behind him Joe made the transition to working in television, films, commercials and print. He enjoys the technical aspects of working in front of the camera and likens it to a dance. "You're working with lights, the camera, blocking, your fellow actor; I like the challenge of making all the pieces come together seamlessly." Joe now lives in Bothell, WA. and looks forward to playing more interesting and diverse characters both on stage and in front of the camera. "The beautiful thing about acting is you never have to retire. There is always a role for you know matter how old you are."
