The more and more I learn about Joey Batey, the more impressed I am.
Not only did he major in medieval and modern languages at Cambridge, but he also got accepted into a French acting school (Le'École de Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq) that only takes 90 students from around the world, and only 30 of those students make it into the second year, and he did both years. And the class is taught entirely in French.
This man has been holding out on us.
He has an incredible talent in both musicality and physicality, and if he doesn't get an award within the next 5 years for his amazing acting talents, I think I will riot.
He is also incredibly humble, very soft spoken, an amazingly dedicated friend and musician, and he is balancing his acting career alongside his music career, having put out two albums in just the past 2 years. He gives so much credit to the people that he works with, almost never talks about himself, and is absolutely invested in the character that he plays on screen.
He did an interview in which he talked about why he steps away from technology, and explained that he does it to keep himself mentally healthy. He knows who he is already. He is only 33 years old and has the wisdom of somebody who has lived for a hundred years. Though I will most likely never meet him in my lifetime, I will forever be grateful for everything that he's put out into the world.
His music has helped me through my worst depressions over the past couple years.
Just to tie this up nice and neat, never have I been more grateful for coming across an actor and a musician with such talent and with such passion.
