- Actor
Joe Amato was on the air when he was 15 years old! He was a radio announcer working for his hometown station. He joined AFTRA at 19 working for a big radio station in Boston. Out of Emerson College he became a comedic TV sports anchor and stayed on the air in that capacity for 25 years. Joe worked in Texas and New Orleans, Hartford and New York. Joe was then stopped by a model agent in Manhattan's Union Square and was told they were looking for sharp suited men for commercial campaigns. Joe went on to appear in magazines like Fortune and Time as an international traveler or entrepreneur. He then started booking a number TV commercials, films and internet projects in New York City using his authoritative and alternate comedic presence to play detectives, football coaches, crazy bosses, clueless scientists, newscasters and frat boy dads. Because of his many hours of live television he has strong improvisation skills. He was one of the first big social media stars as the anchorman of the funny and clever Onion News Network videos. With all his TV experience he was a natural for YouTube. And so he started a YouTube channel where he provides a comedic take on world events. In a whole wide world of talking on TV Joe is never at a loss for words. He's a clever TV performer in all media and all formats.
