Joseph Barton,a 23 year old performer, was born in Atlantic City, NJ in 1975.
He grew up in Galway, Ireland, taking an interest in fencing at the age of 10 (today, his weapon of choice is the two-handed Claymore) and eventually began a study in the arts as well.
Among his talents are fencing, irish stepdancing, singing and acting. He speaks French, plays piano and the Uillean Pipes (an Irish bagpipe-like instrument), and has performed in several musicals in Dublin and Britain. "I haven't had any major roles," he mentions in an online interview in January, but his Mystic Knights role is sure to raise his profile a little more.
Joseph shared a few thoughts on his newest gig as Seanin, commenting "I think the writers figured Maeve didn't have a shot with 5 knights against her." He describes Seanin as "a villain. :)", "quite unique", with armor made of real steel instead of the fiberglass used in his castmates' costumes. "[Steel is] more evil looking I guess," says Joseph.
"..don't feel bad if you don't like my character." Seanin is apparently as evil as they come. He sounds like the kind of guy his fans will love to hate.
Look for Seanin, the Mystic Knight of Swamp to debut in the Mystic Knights of Tir-Na-Nog this fall.
