ABOUT
JOSEPH R. PASSARELLA
Joe Passarella is a long time veteran of Radio, Television, and Film. He enjoyed a distinguished 20-year plus career in the broadcast industry executive and producing ranks before sliding behind the mic. He had the awesome experience of directing talent in front of the camera and behind the mic while serving as a senior maketing and advertising executive for ABC, CBS, FOX, and Paramount Television. His work was recognized with an Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement, first place International Awards from the U.S. Television Commercial Festivals, Telly awards, International Broadcasting Awards, Clio nominations, and Gold and Silver Medallions from the New York and Chicago International Film Festivals.
Although Joe worked with talent for many years, he couldn't quite shake the spark of being behind the mic or in front of the camera himself.
His very first commercial was many years ago. He was the Empire Carpet King flying around Chicagoland on a magic carpet.
Yeah, really.
He never forgot how much fun it was to be on the talent side of the business, and promised himself he would return some day. We all have somedays, but Joe has been lucky enough to turn his someday into a reality.
