Joel de la Fuente

Joel de la Fuente is a New York−based stage and screen actor who can be seen on two Emmy Award®-winning original series: as Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido in The Man in the High Castle, and in Hemlock Grove, as Dr. Johann Pryce. On the stage, Joel’s work on the Jeanne Sakata−written and Lisa Rothe−directed, Hold These Truths spanned more than eight years. In this acclaimed one-person play, Joel created more than 35 characters in a performance critics called “a master class in acting.” An ardent supporter of new voices and original work, Joel has worked often with the Lark Play Development Center and New Dramatists, where he has both served on its Playwright Selection Committee and been a recipient of the Charles Bowden Award, which recognizes “actors who have contributed substantially to the creation of new works.” Joel is an alumnus of Brown University and the Graduate Acting Program at N.Y.U.
