Netflix star Joe Anders, who plays Aron Trask in "East of Eden," has had a prolific career already. He began with a role in the war film "1917" (directed by Sam Mendes) under the name Joe Mendes, before changing his surname to focus on his own Hollywood journey.
Anders' notable works include:
- "Cape Fear": Where he starred as Zack Bowden, alongside Amy Adams.
- "Lee": A biopic featuring his mother, Kate Winslet.
- "Bonus Track": A queer teen romance co-written by Josh O'Connor.
Despite his success in front of the camera, Anders has also explored screenwriting, notably contributing to his mother's directorial debut, "Goodbye June". The film is a heartfelt story about grief and family, based on a script Anders originally wrote as a class assignment.
After "East of Eden," Anders will be seen in "Black Palace", a romantic thriller set in Victorian-era London, starring alongside Freya Allan and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
