Joseph played the recurring role of 'Gabe Zarkoff' in the second season of BBC’s "Mystic" and starred as 'Zee' in Hallmark’s "Written In The Stars" in 2021. More recently Joseph can be seen in the leading role of 'Leo' in two seasons of "Kid Sister" that is airing on Britain’s ITV and in 2024 he was featured in an upcoming film from Director Taika Waititi.
