After starring in "The Grace Card", where Joiner's highly intense portrayal of a racist Memphis cop received rave reviews from the likes of "The Hollywood Reporter" and "Variety, Joiner says "The offers just starred pouring in."
"Michael has gained a reputation for taking on edgier, more complex characters" says his manager Michelle Lea, from Serious Comedy agency, "He is definitely a method actor who likes to fully research and prepare for each role."
Some of his more "edgier" performances can be seen in over eight upcoming films, including "Broken Faith" (www.brokenfaithfilm.com), "Rumors of wars" (www.rumorsofwarsmovie.com) and the upcoming Ray Liotta/Seth Green drama, "The Identical", set to hit theaters this October.
"Not bad for not having an agent." Joiner says.
"Most of these roles I had to negotiate myself, or I had my comedy agent do it." He says. "But I'm a firm believer that at the right time the perfect agent will come to me."
With so many wanting Joiner for their movies, perhaps that time is now.
