Biography
Jarod Joseph was born on October 9,[1] 1985[2] in Calgary, Alberta and raised in Ontario.[3] His focus has been on sports since childhood; first in hockey and then basketball.[4] He is an alumnus of the Calgary Catholic School District's Bishop McNally High School.[5] For the summer of 2007, Jarod was working a construction job in Edmonton while mulling over his post-secondary future. Encouraged by a friend into the entertainment business, he fell in love with the notion, carried out his research and begun taking the proper steps towards making it a reality. By packing up his things and moving from Calgary to Vancouver, Jarod enrolled in and later graduated from New Image College’s professional acting program.[3]
Schooling paid off, and he was cast in the blockbuster fantasy adventure film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief alongside an all-star cast including Sean Bean and Uma Thurman. This break was soon followed by guest star appearances on FOX's Human Target, Cartoon Network's Tower Prep, ABC's V, Showcase's Endgame and AMC's The Killing. Jarod's red-hot career continued to build momentum with recurring roles on FOX's sci-fi mystery Fringe, The CW's drama series The LA Complex[6] and Audience Network's Rogue.
