Joey Halter
Born 2026-01-04
Joey Halter is a Los Angeles–based musician and actor known for his work in independent films such as Jerry Powell and I’ll Be Around. A recurring presence in character-driven underground productions, Halter is recognized for performances that feel volatile, off-kilter, and deeply personal. He is also the creator and performer of The Railroad Bill Show, a one-man live act that channels wacked-out early-’90s MTV energy through folk blues mythology, noise, and absurdist performance. Part musical act, part fever dream, the show has become a cult oddity, embracing spectacle, humor, and deliberate excess while rejecting conventional structure. Halter’s work across film and music reflects a commitment to outsider expression and creative risk, making him a natural fit for projects that value instinct, strangeness, and personality over polish.
