JOEY GAMBETTA
Born in the roughest part of the artsiest neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington (the redheaded step child of Portland, Oregon). Joey had to develop a quick wit and a stylish wardrobe to avoid the wrath of Portlandia hipsters. Worshiped by few, admired by many, talked about by most. Joey realized at a young age that he might in fact be Elvis' reincarnated twin brother, and as such grew his sideburns in honor of the King. Credits: Lost and Found (Lucille Lortel), The Decoy (The Barrow Group), Little Victory (Co-Star), Seamless (commercial.)
Graduate of Mason Gross School of the Art, Rutgers (MFA), C.S.U. Chico (BA), Mr. Evergreen High School and Mr. Clark County.
