Biography

Colorado native Castanon moved from Denver to L.A. in September 2004 following his discovery at a New York acting convention. He immediately booked two short films, a McDonalds commercial and co-starring appearances on TNT’s “Wanted” and NBC’s “Crossing Jordan”. In early 2005, Castanon guest starred on hit CBS series “Ghost Whisperer” and “N.C.I.S.” His performance on “Ghost Whisperer” earned critical acclaim, his 1st Young Artist Award and consideration for other major Hollywood honors.

In July 2005, ten months after beginning his professional acting career, Castanon broke into feature film playing Adam Sandler's son in Columbia Pictures/Revolution Studios “Click”. Castanon learned to swim for a comical scene adding to his already active lifestyle of tumbling, bicycling, scooter riding, and baseball.

Castanon worked non-stop in 2006 earning recurring roles CBS/Paramount's TV series “Jericho” and VH1's "I Hate My 30s", guest star on CBS-TV's "Shark" and WB’s “Pepper Dennis” and costar on CBS’ “Without a Trace” in addition to his second feature film Turkey Ranch Productions’ “Dead Write” starring Rachel Hunter and a lead on the CBS miniseries “Comanche Moon” - the prequel to “Lonesome Dove” starring Val Kilmer. Joseph moved on to his third feature film Woodland Productions' "Plot 7". Impressed with Joseph, "Plot 7" filmmakers referred Joseph for a starring role in the short film "Little Wings" about a boy who must find an escape from abuse at the hands of his own father..

2007 brought numerous opportunities for Joseph including multiple episodes of VH-1's "I Hate My 30s" and a comical co-star on NBC's "E.R."

Joseph opened 2008 with a guest starring role on "October Road" and a lead role on the third and final episode of CBS' prequel to "Lonesome Dove" entitled "Comanche Moon" (earning Joseph his second Young Artist Award). He followed with a booking for the film "Nick & Tristian Go Mega Dega."

In 2009, Joseph made the transition to the professional stage as he co-starred in the West Coast Ensemble production "Big the Musical." He followed with a lead role in the independent feature film "Prodigal" and a starring role in the short film "Santa's Little Helper." .

2010 marks the release of Joseph's co-starring performance in Andie McDowell/Rutger Hauer starrer "Happiness Runs". In another powerfully controversial film, Joseph plays a kid leaning toward the wrong side of the tracks as he grows within a cult community.
