Brian Joseph

Five years ago Brian Joseph abandoned his burgeoning career as a Los Angeles actor for a life as a full-time folk singer. For a decade, his acting had been met with critical acclaim and awards, including a Shellie award in 1999 for his portrayal of Rodolpho in "A View From The Bridge." Although he had been praised for his work in many stage, television and film productions, both domestically and internationally, he was more well known for his portrayal of Cheesy the Pizza Slice in a tv commercial than for his role as Roderigo in "Othello" or Dromio in "A Comedy of Errors." Not that he wasn¹t a convincing slice of pizza, but something was just not right. Being an actor had simply become a day job.
