Biography
Joseph Gatt (born 3 December 1974) is an English actor, model, and voice artist.
Early life
Gatt was born and raised in London to Maltese parents. His father is from Paola and his mother is from Lija. The family spent their summers in Malta while Gatt was growing up.
When Gatt was a teenager he found out he was colour blind, preventing him from fulfilling his dream of joining the RAF and becoming a fighter pilot. The stress of this news was possibly the trigger for his alopecia universalis, which he was diagnosed with at age 12. This rare medical condition caused all of Gatt's hair to fall out at the age of 14.
Gatt began his professional training at the Sylvia Young Theatre School. He then went to Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts, graduating with a bachelor's degree.
