Amin Joseph - The award nominated, multi-hyphenate actor and producer returns to Sundance in 2023 with two bold films in competition. Joseph is lead and producer of "To Live and Die and Live," a gripping story about loss and addiction. Amin also shines in the short film "We Were Meant To," a beautifully shot, Oscar qualifying, coming-of-age story.

Joseph continues his work as the iconic "Jerome 'Unc' Saint" in the hit FX series "Snowfall" and deepens his creative passions in its final season with his powerful directorial debut.

His most recent television credits include recurring roles in the reboot of the acclaimed FX series "Justified: City Primevil" and "Send Help" for ALLBLK. Additional select credits include "Baywatch," "Dope," "The Royal" "Transparent," "The Expendables," and "Stuber."

A Howard University graduate, Amin Joseph calls Harlem, New York, home but now resides in Los Angeles, California. His philanthropic efforts are dedicated to "The Awareness Movement," fostering positive community-law enforcement dialogue and empowering urban voters. He also volunteers at Los Angeles schools, teaching African American classic playwrights through scene study classes.
