Born on March 1, 1982, in Damascus, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, Joe Tippett is an actor who made his Broadway debut in Airline Highway in 2015. He later played the role in the American Repertory Theater production of Waitress, per People Magazine.

He has also appeared on several TV Shows and movies, including Rise, Patsy & Loretta, Mare of Easttown, The Morning Show, and American Primeval.

In an interview with Broadway Buzz, Joe shared that his "brother got me into theater when they were shorthanded for the school production of Bye Bye Birdie. I was just picking up girls—lifting them, not hitting on them. Well, maybe a little of both."

He added that he began taking acting seriously when he got a full tuition scholarship to West Virginia University. However, he dropped out of college "because I was also taking drinking very seriously. My BAC was higher than my GPA."

According to the MoCoShow, Joe also played football for Damascus High School in Damascus, MD.

"I could've gone to college on an athletic scholarship, but I'd started dabbling in theatre and became interested in that," Joe told StageBuddy in March 2017.
