On the “The L.A. Complex”:
In the show, Dinicol’s character Nick is a stand-up comedian from Edmonton struggling to establish himself. “Stand-up is a profession I do not generally partake in,” laughs Dinicol. “I did a number of things [to prepare for the role].the most terrifying was getting up and actually doing stand-up myself.” The result? “When it goes well, it’s the greatest feeling in the world. And when it doesn’t, there is nothing worse!”

Trivia:
“Even though I made the decision to focus my career in the film and television world, theatre has always been my passion,” said Dinicol. The youngest in a line of three generations of Canadian actors (grandson of John Neville and son of Keith Dinicol), Joe spent his childhood backstage and on stage at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. “I started a theatre company (The Red One Theatre Collective) with some friends and we specialize in putting conventional theatre in unconventional spaces. We have been kicked out of spaces, extorted by bikers, and even performed shows in the pitch black when we blew the power. But I love what I do and I love to work. And when I don’t work, I am happy to do theatre and bus tables to get by. It’s an actor’s life for me!”
