Hello. This is my site for
Joseph Cross, formerly known as The Joseph Cross Connection.
I started this site in February of 2000 while Joe (as he is
nicknamed) was still a child actor. Well, now the child actor has
grown into an adult (well, just this year anyway!) actor. Joe is
still acting. And Im still a fan. So Im continuing
this site.
Its been a long time. Websurfers may have noticed that I
was pretty lax and sluggish in updating the old site. I may have
to make a small confession. Despite my insistence that my site
was not created to get official status, I must admit
deep down that that was something I had hoped for. It didnt
happen. That didnt affect my fandom, my appreciation, or my
support for Joe at all, not one bit. However, sometimes I didn't
update the site with new info as often as I wanted to.
Fans of actors like Joe are (usually) on the outside looking in.
Its seemingly a one-in-a-million chance that someone you do
a website for will actually make the move to have it
official. I wouldnt have wished for this had I
not actually seen it happen with my own eyes. So if it could
happen with someone I knew who had created a site, why not me?
Still, you can never count on it happening and despite my
knowledge that the odds were way stacked against me, I still held
out hope. Well, like I said, it didnt happen. :( But that
shouldnt be the point of doing a website anyway. It should
be the appreciation and support for the person who inspires you.
And in my case that person will always be Joseph Cross. If you
are a first timer, I invite you to take a look at these pages
that I have created and, get a glimpse of this person (through my
eyes), or if you have visited my site before, welcome back and I
hope you enjoy the new format! :)
I thought, now that Joe has reached adulthood, that redesigning
the whole page was a good way to go. It took me a while to decide
on the format. I may continually still tweek it.
Alot has happened between the time I started to become a fan and
now. Sometimes I cant believe how much time has passed. Joe
has done alot of interesting and diverse things over the years.
He has covered the full spectrum of acting, from TV to film to
theater. Hes also done a little music on the side with a
band called Roostir back in 2001. (can it be that long ago?).
I may create an additional separate page in the future with my
own thoughts about Joe, fandom, and the larger context of
everything, the world, growing up, innocence lost, innocence
found, etc.You know, really light stuff. <g> All of the
info that was in the previous site continues here of course, with
all the updates. However, as this is also my own site about Joe I
might create this extra "personal thoughts" page for
various reasons. It would be a very personal look at what Joe
means to me and the larger context of my fandom with the world we
live in. After all, this is what the internet is for--to sound
off and share our thoughts and feelings with the world--not an
easy task by any means. We'll see.
With that thought in mind, I still want to say "thank
you" to Joe for inspiring me with his amazing performances
and for being a unique, down-to-earth, nice, caring (from what I
can tell!) person. I wish him the best of luck in whatever he
does, he deserves it! I also hope he is happy, healthy & safe
in everything he does! :) And if you are visiting this site, I
want to thank YOU for your interest in and supporting Joseph
Cross! :)

Contact Info
If you would like to write to Joseph, my advice would be to contact the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) (Website here.) Otherwise, I don't know of any other address that is convenient for the public. :( Don't be discouraged, though. I'm sure Joe would VERY MUCH be appreciative and thankful for writing. I know of several fans who've received hand-written letters from Joe, which really is a WICKED NICE (the way east-coast people like Joe & me "tawk"!!!!) thing to do. He may be busier now and that was several years ago as a child actor. Obviously, being an adult he has more responsibilities and things going on in his life, but I have no reason to think he wouldn't be just as grateful. Good luck!
As the World
Turns address:
OK, this is the address one
used to use to send Joe something when he was recurring on the
soap As the World Turns. Since he's not on the show
anymore, I don't know why I'm leaving here, except maybe for
nostalgia purposes. :)
