Joe Cumberland

Joe Cumberland was born in Philadelphia, MS on February 10,1986. While in college, as a Sports Broadcasting major, he took up acting with the troupe Lethal Eagle out of Meridian, MS. After years in Nashville as a country music singer/songwriter he returned home to Mississippi and once again took to acting. Joe is a classically trained chef and nationally acclaimed BBQ personality. He likes showing off his culinary skills, as well as acting chops, while on set. A devout Christian by faith, Joe worships in the Church of God denomination out of Cleveland, TN. He was called into the ministry in 2018 and only accepts roles that won't interfere with his faith. Joe is the son of the late Elizabeth Carol Cumberland (2018) and Michael Croque Pike(2019). All of his grandparents were deceased by the time he was 8. He cites the early loss of family as motivation in the business: "for me, it's a way to continue the legacy of my family that have gone on. Someone can see a film I've done and say 'hey, that's so and so's son or grandson' and for that moment, they live on." Joe is married with a stepson and daughter, Tennessee Lyric. He has 3 sisters and 2 brothers, as well as a slew of nieces and nephews.
