Early life

Joe Tippett was born on March 1, 1982, and grew up in Damascus, Maryland.[3] He attended Damascus High School, where he was on the football team.[4] He was also involved in his school's theater department, where he performed in his first musical, Bye Bye Birdie.[3] After graduating from high school, he went to West Virginia University on a full scholarship but later dropped out.[3]

Tippett did an apprenticeship and worked his first professional job at the Williamstown Theatre Festival.[3][5] In 2015, he made his Broadway debut as Bait Boy in Airline Highway.[3] The same year, he played Earl Hunterson in the American Repertory Theater production of Waitress.[6] Two years later, Tippett played the leading man in the Off-Broadway production of All the Fine Boys.[7]

In 2018, Tippett played Coach Strickland on NBC's Rise.[5] In 2019, Tippett filmed the TV movie Patsy & Loretta, playing the role of Doolittle Lynn, Loretta Lynn's husband. The TV film was broadcast on the Lifetime channel on October 19, 2019.[8][9][10] The same year, Tippett was cast as Lucius King in NBC's Prism which is inspired by Rashomon, a 1950 Japanese psychological thriller directed by Akira Kurosawa.[11]

In September 2021 Tippett reprised his role as Earl Hunterson in the Broadway return engagement of Waitress.[12]
