Today we’d like to introduce you to Joey Hopper.
Hi Joey, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
Hi, my name is Joey Hopper and I am a Memphis-based Actor, Film Maker, and even Music Artist. I started acting when I was very young, I did plays such as Annie in which I played the character Bert Healy. Then as I grew up I got into films and television shows. The first television show that I was in was called Bluff City Law which I did both background work and even stand-in work in episodes 2, 3, 4, & 6 on an NBC series in 2019.
Then later on I worked on the TV show called Women of the Movement which is an ABC Miniseries. It was a story about Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley which was filmed in 2021. I have also done short films such as Werewolf in the Closet short film, Your Own Medicine which is a bullying short film that was in the Indie Memphis Film Festival in 2020. Plus I also made a short film called Life With ADHD which was in the Indie Memphis Youth Film Festival in 2019.
I have also been in three commercials as Hulu + Live TV “Couchleisure” Featuring Ja Morant, Becky Lynch, and Seth Rollins Applebee’s commercial, Nike’s “Says Who?” Featuring Ja Morant and even History Channel Featuring Morgan Freeman. And now I am getting into making music with my first rap song called When The Tears Begin which is an anti-gun violence, song that is against gun violence!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have bad anxiety sometimes and when it gets into my thoughts I can come up with crazy things even when it is not true. Now I am trying to turn my anxiety into something that I can use towards my success!!
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I have a two-year graphic Multimedia design degree. Some of my classes were Photography, 3D Modeling, and Video Editing!
How do you define success?
How I define my success is that I can always strive to do more and get better in anything I put my mind towards!
