Joel Bryant started his TV career on "Unsolved Mysteries" playing Albuquerque cop Rick Foley (who is now a detective - maybe thanks in part to Joel's portrayal). Joel's most recent Television credits include guest stints on "Monk," "Las Vegas," a regular role on TBS' "Cut To The Chase" and a few never-to-be-seen pilots.
Joel was lucky to start off his film career in a number of independent film festival award-winners:
"Gone But Not Forgotten" (over 30 cities worldwide), "Long Term Relationship" (50 cities worldwide and counting), "Journeyman" (Idaho, North Carolina, San Francisco), "Souvenir" (Los Angeles, Berkeley), "Matrimonium" (Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, New York), "Phoenix" (Tucson, Philadelphia), "Anonymity" (London, Los Angeles), and "The Spirithunter" (Key West, Telluride).
Since then, he's made the leap to studio films while still dabbling in independent fare and getting to work with some amazing casts: "The Heartbreak Kid" (Ben Stiller, Michelle Monaghan), "Music Within" (Ron Livingston, Michael Sheen, Melissa George, Hector Elizondo), "To Live And Die" (Sean Patrick Flanery, Joe Pantoliano), "Baby Blues" (Ridge Canipe, Colleen Porch) and headlining in "Loaded" are among the recently-distributed.

Also, if you would like your Joel right now instead of waiting for NetFlix or TV schedules, you may catch him on the web. Not only did he get great notices for being in the webisodes of "Jericho," but he is currently working on "After Judgment" and
"The Cubes" (the first animated series to debut on MySpace, coming later this summer).

Joel plays keyboard in the Randy Disher video:
"Don't Need A Badge"
Listen closely: there is NO keyboard in the actual song.

NOTE: Deven and I try to drop personal info into our projects. In "Anonymity" I'm Detective Dalton Green (which is one of Deven's brothers). Behind my desk in the the film, there is a post-it note with 'Call Deven' and her private cell phone number. In Dev's SPY TV episode she cries out 'Joel' on the operating table.


Do you like audio adventures? Joel is the lead, Mike Kardec, in Beau L'Amour's "The Diamond of Jeru" out later this year as an audio-drama. (The role was played by Billy Zane in the USA movie of the same name).

Joel Bryant was a regular on the TBS show "Cut to the Chase" (hosted by JD Roberto). It was an improv/sketch/game show/scavenger hunt hybrid (I know, that old cliched premise). Filmed in Miami, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, the show revolved around the scavenger hunt teams searching for clues and characters and, ultimately, money. Joel played a series of comedic characters, improvised his dialogue and helped our teams reach their goals. He got to play an Elvis imitator at the Elvis Presley Museum, a Navy pilot at Area 51, a Jethro lookalike driving around Beverly Hills, and a swimming instructor on the beaches of Miami. He got to race cigarette boats in Miami Harbor, perform a wedding at the Little White Chapel, paddle a boat around the Venetian, exotically dance on the streets of South Beach, and shoot a film on a closed off Hollywood Blvd. Greatest. Location. Shoot. Ever.

NOTE: The booking number on Joel's chest is actually Jim Morrison's arrest number for disturbing the peace in 1963.
