Joe Absolom - from Eastenders to Doc Martin

Well there's me flicking from Amazon Prime and I noticed Doc Martin, something my mother wanted to watch, so there's me watching it and couldn't help noticing Joe Absolom, so I figured, why not see what he is up to now.  Well not much really since Eastenders hes only done Doc Martin and appeared in one episode of Suspects.

Not sure his hair like this suits him personally

Joseph Absolom (born 16 December 1978 in Reading, Berkshire) is an English actor best known for playing Matthew Rose in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders and Al Large in Doc Martin.

From his Eastenders days

He has one older brother and a younger sister. Joe stands at 5'11", has blue eyes and brown hair. His path into acting began at the age of ten when his father sent him to an acting agency. He was brought to everyone's attention when he landed the role of "Matthew Rose" in "Eastenders" in 1997. After leaving the show he starred in two movies: "Long Time Dead" and "Extreme Ops" but soon returned to TV work, in such dramas as "Servants" and "P.O.W."

Tony Discipline aka Tyler Moon in Eastenders

Tyler is one of those cheeky chappies who you can't help but like. He’s a confident geezer who's set to be a sure fire hit with the ladies and a popular fixture in the Queen Vic but will his testosterone fuelled swagger rub Walford’s lads up the wrong way? Time will tell…

This naughty bloke loves a good barney and will take on any challenge going. But beware, Tyler has a very short fuse and cause a ruckus at the drop of a hat. He’s a newbie in the boxing ring, and is pleased as ‘punch’ to be following in his old man, Eddie’s, footsteps.

Tyler works for the family business and him and his dad are as close as father and son can be but of all of the Moon clan, it’s Anthony that Tyler dotes on the most. There's simply nothing in the world that he wouldn't do for his big brother.
