Joy N. Houck Jr. came into this world on January 26, 1942, in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, where the sounds of jazz and blues filled the air. As a talented individual, he would go on to carve out a successful career in the entertainment industry, making a name for himself as both an actor and director. Some of his most notable works include the 1986 film "The Big Easy", the 1972 film "The Brain Machine", and the 1969 film "Night of Bloody Horror". Tragically, his life came to a close on October 1, 2003, in Prescott, Arizona, USA, where he left behind a lasting legacy in the world of cinema.
