Joseph Mawle is an English actor. Mawle left the school at 16 to become an actor, but contracted labyrinthitis, leaving him 70 per cent hearing-impaired in the upper register and with tinnitus. He persuaded the director of the local college at Stratford-upon-Avon to let him study for a BTEC in performing arts while doing an assortment of jobs such as fitness instructor and dish-washer. He did also do some acting for the Box Clever Theatre Company and in his own production of 'Solo Hamlet'. He won a scholarship to study at the Bristol Old Vic's theatre school.
He has appeared in a number of British television productions since including Dunkirk (winner of the Huw Wheldon BAFTA Award for Factual Drama) and in Adrian Shergold's Persuasion and Channel 4's gay drama Clapham Junction in the role of Tim. Time Out said "Mawle and Treadaway put in Bafta winning efforts". In 2008 he starred as Jesus in BBC/HBO Films miniseries of The Passion, and as a guest star in Foyle's War Broken Souls series. In 2008 Mawle returned to the theatre in The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at the Almeida Theatre directed by Rupert Goold. Listed for 'Outstanding Newcomer' by The Evening Standard Theatre Awards and nominated for WhatsOnStage 'Theatre Choice Awards' for Best Newcomer for his performance as Judas Iscariot.
He appeared in several 2012 projects including the Working Title production of Sebastian Faulks's acclaimed novel "Birdsong", the Bruce Willis film "The Cold Light of Day", the Tim Burton-produced Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and the independent British film "Shell". In 2011, he was featured in The Horrible Crowes' music video for their debut single "Behold The Hurricane".
