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, a 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 upcoming 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" currently making film festival/film market rounds.
2007 brought numerous opportunities for Joseph including the feature film "Happiness Runs" starring Rutger Hauer, 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". He followed with a booking for the film "Skater Movie." Plans are also in the works for a feature film starring Joseph later this year.
Joseph Castanon loves to dance, sing and play videogames. He is represented by Abrams Artists Agency (theatrical, commercial), the William Morris Agency (voice over) and Martin Weiss Management.
