Joel Bryant was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It's in Albuquerque that he
got his first acting gig as Officer Rick Foley in "Unsolved Mysteries"
and his first stand-up experience at the age of 17 at Laff's Comedy Cafe. After
winning Outstanding Actor at the New Mexico Theatre Conference, he left his hometown
to pursue acting and comedy in Los Angeles by way of a Pepperdine University on a theatre scholarship. He decided
to graduate in three years; however, always enjoying a challenge, he did it magna
cum laude with 2 majors (theatre and telecommunications). Joel was recently asked back by his alma mater
to teach a Master Class, sharing those duties with Jason Alexander and Daniel
Stern, among others.
Joel will be running in the 03/12 LA Marathon on team APLA to continue the fight against AIDS. Kindly donate.

What
you won't find listed on IMDB are Joel's commercials,
but he's been getting
in your head for a while.
In fact, if you bought wood at Lowe's, drove there
in your
Jeep, used your Mastercard, got home and watched the NFL Channel
or Promos for NBC while surfing the web on your Vaio, chugged a Bud Light and
then did...well, whatever you would use Sysco Systems for, then chances are thoughts
of Joel were in your head.

Joel
Bryant - Nominated
for Best Actor in a Dramatic Web Series at the 1st Annual Streamy Awards (honoring excellence in web entertainment).
*PS.
Alas, Joel didn't win. He lost out to Alessandro Guiliani from the "Battlestar
Galactica" online series.
To be fair, Alessandro was great in that series.
He also played both gay AND disabled.
That's a guaranteed Award-getting one-two
punch!
Joel was nominated with Lisa Kudrow, Paul Rudd, Neil Patrick Harris, Eva Longoria-Parker,
Rosario Dawson...thankfully not against them.
Much like comparing
the work of a real actor to say a slab of hanging meat or a brick wall or a burnt
out light bulb. I thank you Joel and hope to see you in something where you might
actually have to work your cute butt, I mean your skills, next time.

[Anonymity] is a fun comedy thriller
with a great double act from Randy Tobin and Joel Bryant as detectives Stone and
Green, who deserve their own series.
Official Review Bradford
Film Festival
The scenes between Stone (Randy Tobin) and Green (Joel
Bryant), a well meaning but hapless cop who wants to do things right and a slob
cop who drips his mayo over the case notes, are funny, well written and well paced.
They're just great.
Sheila Seacroft
A real stand-out
is Joel Bryant, who moves from character to character giving each a unique and
entertaining spin.

The better acting
ability and good looks of actor Joel Bryant
as Bradley kept me watching.

Joel
Bryant as Dad, besides providing a much-needed dose of gravitizing
stability, has now earned the title of permanent Kindertrauma pin-up (I had to
explain to Aunt John that the title BABY BLUES was a reference to postpartum depression
and not JOELs eyes.)

Joel Bryant's turn
as the best man was clearly the best thing about the movie and here is where it
really played. You have to go back and watch it a second time to appreciate his
subtle performance in a movie that lends itself to over the top acting.
I had
to have a copy of this DVD because this guy has what it takes to really break
out of the pack. One day this little tale of a gay reality show will be the clip
he uses on the Tonight Show when commenting on where it all began.

The
best work [in Loaded] was done by Joel Bryant as the sniveling Pepsi the
dialog and delivery was really snappy, very clever and right on time.
Christopher
Armstead, Film Critics United
But special mention has to go to
Joel Bryant who, as the manipulative Balthazar really does dominate his scenes
and drag things along marvellously.

But Joel Bryant brings a heaviness, even a weariness to the role
that fits Steven just right.

The
supporting character played by Joel Bryant is by far the most talented of the
cast and is a joy to watch. The interesting thing is that he was one of the best
things about the film "Gone But Not Forgotten. Netflix.com
