The prolific character actor dishes on his roles in iconic films like “Risky Business”, “Midnight Run”, “The Matrix” and “Momento”, and opens up about his family and his own journey from mental illness, to wellness, to running his own charity “No Kidding, Me Too!”. Joe reveals what he thinks a post-Covid-19 theatre and film world will look like and laments the loss of value of his American passport during the pandemic.
