About
Joe Cole carved a reputation for volatile, morally fractured characters across British prestige TV. Born in the UK in 1988, the actor rose to prominence playing Luke in Skins, then pivoted to darker roles: John Shelby in Peaky Blinders, Sean Wallace in Gangs of London, and Billy Moore in A Prayer Before Dawn. His Sagittarius directness translates to characters with no filter.

Biography
Joseph Michael Cole was born in England on 28 November 1988. He built his career on roles that demanded moral ambiguity and intensity. Early breakout came as Luke in the teen drama Skins, but his signature work arrived in ensemble crime narratives: John Shelby in Peaky Blinders, Sean Wallace in the gritty Gangs of London, and the haunting Billy Moore in A Prayer Before Dawn. Beyond those anchors, Cole diversified into anthology and prestige single episodes—Frank in Black Mirror's "Hang the DJ", supporting turns in Secret in Their Eyes (Marzin and Beckwith), and Iver Iversen in the Arctic survival film Against the Ice. As a Sagittarius, Cole's performances often channel the archer's unflinching aim at uncomfortable truths. Male actors of his generation typically balance franchise work with indie and streamer projects; Cole leans toward character-driven drama and psychological tension. Born in GB, he operates within the UK's robust television ecosystem.
