Joe Shelton(III)
- Actor
Joseph Lee Shelton was born in Geneva, New York (USA). He caught the "acting bug" early, performing in many school plays over the years. Often, he was cast as a lead or central character due to his ability to memorize large portions of the script (including stage directions), allowing him to prompt his fellow actors on stage or from the wings.
He showed talent from an early at doing "voices", accents, or impressions of celebrities. He would often perform for his mother's friends when they would come over to visit.
Joe took drama classes in high school (Geneva High School / Geneva, New York). and even directed a scene from Lillian Hellman's "Little Foxes" for a drama competition held at SUNY Geneseo.
It was in high school that Joe developed stage fright and never performed on stage again.
In 2018, Joe began to pursue a career in voice-acting.
