Joel has also taken his talents to the USA, guest starring in Sons of Anarchy (2008), The Glades (2010), Hawaii Five-0 (2010), A.K.A. (2006) and Without a Trace (2002), and Australia, playing the lead roles in the critically-acclaimed drama, Tangle (2009), and the comedy, :30 Seconds (2009), which saw him nominated for the Most Outstanding Performance By an Actor award at the 2010 Australian Subcription Television & Radio Association Awards in Australia. Joel has also worked as a singer and guitarist over the years, playing and singing in bands, both in New Zealand and Australia.
