Biography

Joe Estevez's, first time on the stage was as a 6-year-old playing the "Evil Innkeeper" in a Christmas Nativity play, and as an actor he has never looked back. Born the last of 10 children to an Irish-immigrant mother and a Spanish-immigrant father, Joe was raised in Dayton Ohio to be a factory worker, but he had other plans, and 230-some films later, he feels that his decision was the right one.

For most actors the road is never easy, but through perseverance, faith, and talent, Joe has become an accomplished actor, and in Hollywood today he is one of the busiest actors for one reason: He is one of the best at what he does. Joe can be seen weekly on the TV series "Hollywood Joe" and as the host of the critically-acclaimed Faith Film Festival in New York City. You can learn more about him from his book "Wiping Off the Sheen".

When somebody else is suffering, you should be suffering. And you only find relief in giving them relief. That is what being a human being is about. A human being is not about having more than somebody else, or being in comfort while somebody else suffers.

I am basically a socialist. And I don't know where that became a bad word. And I don't know when in the hell capitalism became a good word. People don't understand. A capitalist...will take every fucking penny you've got and then kick you to the curb and go to somebody else that's got money. It's supposed to be a good thing, as if our founding fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence welcome in capitalism as a way to run this society. That's not the way it was and that's not the way it should be right now.
