Meet Joe Kajos Kazadi – The actor, Fitness Model, Scripts Writer and Producer

Joe Kazadi (27) is an actor, scripts writer, dancer, fitness model and a professional chef but it’s his well-toned body in which he takes most pride.

He says his well-built, muscled body brings out the best in him as an actor. And it has opened many acting jobs for him.

Having acted in numerous international and local TV shows, Joe said now he wants to also make it as an actor in Hollywood. He played the role of Lieutenant Joe in a British-American action drama series called Strike Back: Vengeance.

“This show gave me an opportunity to work with experienced international actors and I really learnt a lot,” he said.

Other shows include Generations, Intersexions, eKasi: Our Stories and the international movie Diamonds, to mention just a few. Although he does not have any formal training in acting, Joe said he is certain that acting is his God given talent.

“I believe I was born for this and that is why I am able to do what I do with so much ease and look up to Nigerian actor Hakeem Kae-Kazim because he has made the transition that I want to make as an actor,” he said.

Joe was born in the Congo and moved to South Africa when he was nine years old with his family.

Joe said he is devoted to starring in TV or film productions that uplift Africa.

Before Joe was an actor, he worked as a professional chef in Durban, South Africa for three years.
