Joe Penny Education
Regarding his education, Joe spent part of his childhood in London before his family moved to Marietta, Georgia, in the U.S. However, his parents separated shortly thereafter, prompting him to move to Huntington Beach, California, with his mother and seven siblings.
He completed his education at Marina High School, where he engaged in sports such as football and basketball. Joe graduated in 1974 and took on various odd jobs to support himself before choosing to follow a career in acting. Consequently, he began training under Lee Strasberg and quickly found himself in numerous roles in Hollywood.
Joe Penny Career & Professional Life
Joe’s career formally commenced in 1977, with his initial appearance as Brandon in the pilot episode of the A.B.C. mystery series “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.” This was succeeded by his first recurring role as Sal DiVito in the T.V. series “Forever Fernwood” in the following year. The year after that, he secured the part of Dean Berger in Joseph Ruben’s drama “Our Winning Season,” followed by starring as Rick Bladen in the E.M.I. television horror film “Deathmoon” (1978), Beau Galloway in the A.B.C. romantic drama film “The Girls In The Office” (1979), and Paul Cameron in another T.V. film, “The Gossip Columnist” (1980).
At the start of the next decade, Joe sought more substantial roles and gained fame portraying Benjamin ‘Bugsy’ Siegel, a character he embodied not only in the N.B.C. crime drama mini-series “The Gangster Chronicles” but also in the film based on it, “Gangster Wars,” released in 1981, alongside Michael Nouri and Brian Benben. That same year, he was cast as Mr. Harding in the slasher film “Bloody Birthday,” Officer Phil Buchwald in the comedy “S.O.B.”, and Simmons in the sci-fi “Lifepod,” all of which significantly boosted his net worth and enhanced his recognition. Additionally, he guest-starred in various T.V. series including “Flamingo Road,” “Tucker’s Witch,” “Savage In The Orient,” among others.
Joe’s next significant role arose in 1984 when he was selected to play Nick Ryder in the N.B.C. detective series “Riptide,” which aired for two seasons. After the series concluded, he took on the role of Robert McCay in the N.B.C. film “Perry Mason: The Case Of The Shooting Star” (1986) and appeared as Edward Moran in the N.B.C. crime drama film “Blood Vows: The Story Of A Mafia Wife” (1987), followed by his part as Lloyd Murphy in the C.B.S. two-part drama series “Roses Are For The Rich” that same year.
At the outset of the following decade, Joe became quite inactive, making appearances only as John Taylor in the T.V. film “Betrayed At 17” (2011) and as Sam in John Heath’s crime drama film “The Last Night Inn” in 2016. Nonetheless, he has increased his net worth and has now appeared in nearly 80 film and T.V. titles.
