"The work on the design of Rumpelstiltskin is great and far more menacing than Robert Carlyle’s Mr. Gold in television series Once Upon a Time. This Rumpelstiltskin looks unnerving and the performance of Joss Carter is especially strong." - Kat Hughes, The Hollywood News
"As for the hellion after which the production is named, the monster-make up effects are top notch and matched by an excellent performance from Carter, who can tug on the heart strings one moment before being genuinely menacing the next." - Darren Gaskell, Love Horror
"Carter, who portrays Rumpelstiltskin in an entertaining, wicked manner without crossing the line into camp." - Joseph Perry, Horror Fuel
"As the titular goblin, Carter gives an enjoyably grotesque performance, which is backed up by a solid creature design." - Joel Harley - Starburst Magazine
"So what inspired such a dark and kinetic career path? For Love Horror, Carter dives deep into the murky depths of his psyche to share the films that have most influenced him—not just as a performer, but as an artist of body and spirit."

"I was fortunate enough to work with Joss on a recent film and he was absolutly fantastoc. He is incedibly hard working and dedicated to his craft and I look forward to collaborating with him on the next project"
- Anna Halberg, Director, TAROT
“Joss is one of the most exciting artists I have worked with in a long time. His artistry, creativity and extraordinary performance skills are a gift for a creative. He is a kind and solid company member and brings a unique and rare quality to a film, TV or theatre project.”
- Lynne Page, Movement Director, The 47th
"Joss creates genuine fear when he embodies a charcter. He makes nightmares, and we LOVED seeing his terrifying take on the Devil"
- Spencer Cohen, Director - "TAROT"
"He was a popular member of the crew, working really well with all the elements of the film making team to help create a friendly but focused environment.”
- Marc Lacey, 1st AD - 'Don't Hug Me I'm Scared'
"I had the pleasure of working with Joss Carter on a recent project, and I have to say, he is a truly fantastic creature performer. Joss' dedication and commitment to his craft are truly impressive as the energy of his performance, and his ability to bring creatures to life is top tier."
- Dan Martin, 13 Finger FX - 'Tarot'
"Joss has the stamina and technique thats like fighting talk..He's a creative asset to any company and a brilliant teacher too."
- Oona Doherty, Choreographer - 'Hope Hunt'
"Joss jumped enthusiastically into the part which involved him throwing himself to the ground repeatedly, covered in dirt and fake blood. He did this with passion. Joss is a friendly, amiable and enthusiastic actor, always punctual, helpful and willing. I wouldn’t hesitate to employ him on any future productions as he gives his entirety to the production.
I greatly enjoyed his company."
- Dominic Hailstone, VFX director - 'Napoleon'
"We stuck Joss in full body creature prosthetics whilst filming night shoots in Manchester in the middle of winter. The action required was both mentally and physically very challenging, but even in the harshest of conditions, Joss nailed his performance perfectly every time. Scary to watch!!”
- Darren Robinson, SFX prosthetics make up artist and sculptor - 'Curfew'
"He did not fail to impress, bringing all the craziness I had imagined he had inside him, but with total control and taking direction perfectly. Along with a wonderful work ethic, I can say that it was an absolute pleasure to work with Joss and I can’t wait to repeat the collaboration.”
- Ian Pons Jewell, Director - "Quickbooks"
“Joss was incredibly vital member of our creature team. Not only did he help to develop unique, bespoke movement, but he was also incredibly committed to the long, arduous days involved in our production. He brought his exceptional physical performance skills to beat every day, as well as a great work ethic and a positive can do attitude. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.”
- Colm McCarthy, Director - 'Curfew'
"Joss Carter lives and breathes resistance, this is displayed in his unequivocal dedication to the messages he presents. His work clearly illustrates that he has disposed of fear, and he has developed very particular physical body language in order to talk to us. Communication is everything to Joss, creative energy courses through his veins and bubbles up inside him often throwing him to the floor, exploding through his body, this energy ultimately lifts him up enabling us the audience to become transfixed and ascend with him."
- Dean Chalkley - Photographer, Creative Director & Producer
"He is one of the most talented movement specialists I am yet to work with. His body possesses a vast range of movement, he’s a brilliant actor, and he has an ability to absorb direction to a depth that takes a role to whole other level. On top of that, his stamina and professionalism from R&D to working on set means that I can trust he will perform at an excellent standard and efficiently with all the demands and extremities film & TV can bring.”
- Charlie Mayhew, Movement Director - 'The Mummy', 'Quickbooks'
“Carter is a master, a visionary, and a true fine artist. He is one of the new breed that assures beyond any doubt that there is a coming golden age of fine art. It is in these odd corners of the world one still finds the kind of quality of expression and mastery of form that Carter's art represents.
- Ken Ludden, Director Margot Fonteyn Academy of Ballet, USA
“Joss has been an invaluable core member of a group of movement specialists who continue to inspire, create and shape new frontiers in movement led character work. He is a pleasure to work with with a keen eye and fearless approach.”
- Alex Reynolds, Movement Choreographer - 'The Mummy', 'Morbius', 'Aqua Man 2'
“I worked with Joss Carter during the summer of 2016 on Tom Cruises ‘The Mummy’. I made up Joss a few times as one of the undead characters. He was always a pleasure to work with. A very patient dedicated and consummate professional. That’s always a bonus when someone is enduring a prosthetic makeup.”
- Adrian Rigby, SFX Make-up & prosthetic make up artist.
“Joss is a fearless and generous performer, team member and collaborator. His commitment and trust allowed me to fully achieve my vision for my piece ‘TOYS’”.
- Lea Tirabasso, Choreographer & Director - 'Toys'
"Sitting still for many hours, of prosthetic makeup and suit application at odd hours of the day and night is no easy job. Remaining cheerful, focussed and professional is even harder. Giving a committed performance after so long in the makeup chair whilst respecting the makeup is harder still. Joss Carter is great at all of that."
- Cliff Wallace, SFX prosthetics make up artist and sculptor - 'Curfew'
"Joss has a strong presence and he is a committed and fearless performer, keen to engage with ideas which push his physical and mental limits.”
- Evangelia Kolyra, Choreographer & Director - '10,000 litres'
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'
