Joel's existence underwent a profound metamorphosis on a specific day, while he was diligently toiling away in the coal mines of Virginia, endeavoring to provide for his extensive family of seventeen siblings. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, as he inadvertently caught the eye of the burgeoning film director, Michael Millican, thus catapulting him into the realm of the entertainment industry.
Joel, following the culmination of his work on "Average Joe 2", embarked on a journey of self-reinvention, seeking to diversify his professional endeavors and explore novel opportunities.
He extended an olive branch to his long-standing friend Everett Salter, who had previously shared the screen with him in a minor capacity, and secured a role in the highly acclaimed film "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". This marked a significant departure from his established acting career, as he opted to pivot towards a career in music.
Many fans are left pondering the prospect of Joel reprising his role in the next installment of "Average Joe", and in a recent statement, he left the door slightly ajar, hinting that he might be open to revisiting the franchise, saying, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind sitting back in the wheelchair, the chicks dig it."
