According to his IMDb page, Joe is set to appear in the film God’s Petting You, which is directed by Brighton-based filmmaker, Jamie Patterson.

Facebook users were quick to speculate as to what the crew may have been shooting.

One user suggested that Joe may have a role in the ITV series, Grace, whilst another said it could be a remake of Blackbeard the Pirate, due to his thick, dark beard.

Joe is set to return as his character, Pat the Postman, in the third season of Ricky Gervais’ Netflix series, Afterlife.
