Joseph Curdy's father is South American Indian-Hispanic, his mother
Scandinavian-British. Labeled as a "bright but unfocused child" in
school, he navigated through public school on a C- average. In college,
however, he flourished, winning scholarships in the performing arts due
in part to his stage acting. In 2000, he was accepted to study
literature at Cambridge University, England.
After receiving his B.A. in Literature and an A.A. in Theatre, his love
of the theatre led him to study at the Shakespeare Institute in
Stratford-upon-Avon where he was awarded his Masters in Shakespeare
Studies in 2004. During his studies in England, he was cast as a
supernumerary in the RSC's 2004 production of 'Hamlet' starring Toby
Stephens for a 44-performance run attended by HRH Charles, the Prince
of Wales.
