Notable individual, Joel, hailed from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where his childhood came to a close at the tender age of nine, as his family made the momentous decision to relocate to the vibrant metropolis of St. Louis, Missouri.
It was during his formative years in this new environment that Joel stumbled upon a profound realization - the harsh reality of accents, a concept that would go on to shape his remarkable ability to mimic various dialects. This remarkable skill would later prove to be an invaluable asset on numerous movie sets, showcasing his impressive range and versatility as a performer.
Currently, Joel calls the picturesque neighborhood of Encino his home, residing alongside his loving wife, the renowned Cher, and their two sons, Levon and Cameron.
When not captivating audiences with his captivating performances on the silver screen, Joel can be found belting out his favorite tunes at some of the most esteemed clubs and honky-tonks in the City of Angels, Los Angeles.
