Biography

Joseph G. Medalis, a multifaceted and gifted thespian, was born on August 24, 1942, in the picturesque and quaint town of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania, United States of America. Throughout his illustrious career, which spanned an impressive number of decades, he made a profound and lasting impact on the entertainment industry, bringing to life memorable characters in a wide range of iconic films, including the 1985 comedy classic Brewster's Millions, the 1977 cult favorite The Kentucky Fried Movie, and the 1992 musical comedy sensation Sister Act.
