3	Joe Walker, born February 6, 1987 in New York City, New York, was one of the members of the group known as Creator/TeamStarkid.
4
5	Other than ''WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie'' and ''Theatre/TheTrailToOregon'', he had a major role in every Starkid production up until ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'', when he retired from acting to receive a business degree.
6
7	He is known for his extreme MrFanservice tendencies, even in the most ridiculous of roles, as his parts have shown him as [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical a shirtless, tapdancing Dark Lord]], [[Theatre/HolyMusicalBatman an angsty antihero who loves the circus]], and [[Theatre/TwistedTheUntoldStoryOfARoyalVizier an overly-cocky prince]]. He quietly contributed the English-language captions for the [=YouTube releases=] of the musicals and left in-jokes in them.

10	!!Tropes that apply to this actor include:
11
12	* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Played Joey Richter's penis in ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick''.
13	* CloudCuckooLander: Obviously given how silly the shows are all of the Starkid performers have had the chance to show this side of themselves, but Joe's characters are especially notable for always having an extra tinge of unpredictable chaos to them. ''Theatre/{{Ani}}'' was extremely jarring to many fans because he spends the whole time playing a straight man for once.
14	* CreatorBreakdown: Nick Lang revealed on a livestream in all seriousness that Joe reacted to the election of UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump by falling into a depression and announcing he was quitting acting, moving out of LA and going back to school to get a business degree. He actually went through with it, and unfortunately this is why ''Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals'' is the first Creator/TeamStarkid show he hasn't appeared in since.
15	* CrossCastRole: Played Umbridge in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterSequel''.
16	** AttractiveBentGender: Known for being attractive while playing either gender.
17	* GymBunny: He takes his training regimen seriously enough that he apparently had a minor FreakOut when he asked for a protein bar during a rehearsal and someone tried to substitute a Snickers. (This is the origin of the CreatorInJoke about Tom Riddle's hatred of Snickers in ''Theatre/AVeryPotterSeniorYear''.)
18	* MrFanservice: He is well known for this trope among the fangirls. His shirtless debut as Voldemort probably didn't help very much.
