I greatly enjoyed his company."

His work throughout the gruelling schedule was always of the highest quality. All the departments remarked on Joss’s professionalism and his incredible performance. My respect for him continued to grow as he worked tirelessly to realised the strange and unique qualities of the creature. His intelligence, skills and commitment to his craft made it an absolute joy to be around. Generously he both supported me and his fellow creature performers through arduous night shoots, in challenging conditions. I’m really looking forward to getting to work with him again and would happily recommend this talented and charming man to any directors, producers or movement directors.”
- Dan O’Neill, Moment Director/Choreographer.
Joss Carter isn't just an actor, he's a force of nature. The very best kind of madman who brings an unrivaled level of passion and commitment to every role he takes on. For FAIRY DUST, Joss played not one, not two, but FOUR different characters and voiced a fifth. His unique brand of performance is firmly stamped into every minute he's on screen with a beautiful blend of skills as a movement artist, seasoned actor, and his oft-times comedic timing. It was an absolute honor having Joss on set, and I hope this mad genius and I get to collaborate again many more times in the future.
- Chad Michael Ward, Director 'FAIRY DUST'
