Well... he did it

[@bolognaboy5294]

What did he direct?

[@35diamondgirl]

@@bolognaboy5294 Before BoRhap, He wrote, produced, directed an indie movie called Undrafted. It’s an ensemble dramedy based on his brother’s experience as a baseball player whose dream of being drafted does not come true. It’s available to stream on Amazon Prime.

JOE IS THE CUTEST THINF EVER IM DYING

[@rogertaylorsstolenmaracas1703]

A b B Y H A N N U S COwards. I know

[@sararosa]

Joe is soooo cute. In my opinion the best kid actor from the 90s. It's hard to believe that he's already 33. And well, he became a director...

[@Contra2075]

Sara R That's crazy how he knew his future at 8 maybe he is on here.But yeah he got famous very young so makes you think hard of what else you want to do.

[@jjrj8568]

he's John Deacy Deacon!!

He's 38 now

[@punyparkerr]

joseph mazzello makes those same faces even well into his late 20s and early 30s

[@333br]

I know hahahah! i just saw one of his movies that he directed and starred in Undrafted and there's a scene where he gets so frustrated and he yells like a maniac! xD

[@MicahEspino1409]

someday, this cute little boy will portray Bass Boss Deaky in a Biopic! ❤❤❤

[@punyparkerr]

"I want to become a director when i get older so i've learned lots of stuff from him..." Well, Joe... you've done it. You're directing debut of Undrafted was great in my opinion. one of my favorite movies of 2016. you put so much into it and it shows. good job, my man. glad to see all you've accomplished over the years.

[@Remheidi]

Joe still screams the same! From his movie Undrafted 💕

[@danuk2136]

Link?

[@onlykismet]

who would have thought 25 years later this little bean would play the most iconic bass player from the most iconic rock band on their biopic, and gain thousands of new fans :") I'm soft

[@trashmouth7984]

Analisa Scafidi Jazzy joe

[@333br]

Joe has always been such a smart, mannered, down to earth person, i can't wait to watch him play the bass player of Queen, John Deacon.

[@Contra2075]

Yummy Sounds Oh dang. One of the best bands in the 70s.

[@gowest8184]

He did an amazing job! The movie was phenomenal!

[@Rontlc3317]

Interesting name their Miss Narcissistic Viewer 🤪🤔🤔😅

[@solarheartz]

JOE’S FEET CANT EVEN TOUCH THE GROUND WHEN HE SITS OMG IM CRYINGGGGGGG THE ACTUAL LUV OF MY LIFE :’)))

[@kalteich]

Young John Deacon!

[@teb2903]

Joe really became a director

[@shazzah199708]

I used to have such a crush on Timmy when I was a kid 😂😂 in all honesty I still kind of have a crush on Joe now

[@shiloh9697]

Same

[@sleepingrosess]

Joe is so intelligent for such a young age and he still is! Also he was and still is such a cutie! And his smile and mannerism are still the same, I'm so happy he didn't turn out to be what many of child actors do!

[@varunshahvo-tv9854]

Yes screaming is intelligent

[@josejose-je6xu]

That's why he so best in the movie

[@penistwister1238]

I’m freaking dying Joe is adorableee👏😩

[@seraviloxelavlogs]

4:10 Joe is so cute :3

[@MrDaRiAn21]

As a kid, I found Joseph Mazzello to be inspiring as a child actor. He was so brilliant in Jurassic Park, The River Wild, and The Cure.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

And *Radio Flyer* as the abused little brother of Elijah Wood.

[@ESaude1]

@@musicaltheatergeek79 THE RIVER WILDDDDD YESSSSSSSSS

[@musicgirl999]

You should watch him in Simon Birch! He’s absolutely phenomenal!

[@DMalltheway]

He would’ve been a good David in A.I.

[@35diamondgirl]

Shadowlands, with Anthony Hopkins, is my all-time favorite of Joe’s childhood movies.

[@kurratulainesha5892]

Joe is more mature in here than he is as his 30s -_-

[@JonathanModoh]

My childhood stars! :') Jurassic Park one of my all time favourite movies and one of thr biggest movie memories...💛

[@Rontlc3317]

Facts love❤

So cute and adorable...^^

[@tonemarieantonsen1597]

Now Joseph can add played John Deacon from Queen on his CV.😊💙

[@MicahEspino1409]

YES!!

[@cursedcami6814]

Joseph Mazzelo is soooo cute! ♥️

[@eyezodiotic3197]

He makes the same face whenever he screams

[@janmac86]

my favorite movie of all time, it happened when I was in the age when I loved dinosaurs most and it stuck to me.

[@jurassicparkfreak7601]

Lex and Tim were my two favorite character's in Jurassic Park. Some people would say they were annoying as heck and they should have died instead of this character. But even though Tim didn't help much and Lex didn't help much until the end when she saved the day. I thought they were very charming, someone you would have loved to be friends with. Their acting in the movie was outstanding. They will probably always be my favorite character's. I will probably always say the first Jurassic Park film was the best.

[@jurassicparkfreak7601]

No Bar Bar Yes, I know. I've heard about that. They should have made Tim have some abilities in the movie. Same with Lex in the book.

[@runningwind2337]

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU

[@mikejunior211]

+No Bar Bar I could be wrong, long time since I read the book, but wasn't Tim the older sibling in the book?, hence the changes in the movie.

[@thevfxmancolorizationvfxex4051]

I agree, they met with Ian Malcom in the second film before being sent home by Peter Ludlow. I wanted them to have more screentime in the second movie

[@vintagevhstreasures4058]

Jurassic Park Freak Would the same go for Patty Tolan in the Ghostbusters reboot?

[@rockisheaven]

Even then, you could tell Joe was a really smart, perceptive kid.

[@musicisbrilliant]

4:08 "Look out"

[@courtneyboulds]

In the middle of the kitchen scene my dad yelled “Run Deacon run! If you get out of here you will one day play a Fender Precision Bass!”

[@wilbursmoonwater]

JOE MAZZELO I

[@matthiasmoylan4815]

My favorite kids portrayed in any action/adventure/scary film . They just seem so lovely and real . Not punks or brats !

[@nicholasmardis9846]

I remember seeing this movie back in 1993 when I was a kid.

[@danuk2136]

If only grant Ellie lex and tim was still in jurrasic world..omg there screams was identical to the film.. amazing actors

[@_camlynn_]

Baby Joe is killing me 😭😭😍😍 I love him so much! He👏is👏so👏cute👏 it was his birthday!

[@wendyfiolek5914]

Aww. Joe was the most adorable boy and now he is totally gorgeous as an adult.

[@SuperJord88]

Soon the interviewer asked them both what their screams are like, then it reminds me of Drew Barrymore in an E.T interview who was asked to scream with an interviewer.

[@vintagevhstreasures4058]

Now that makes sense because both E.T. and Jurassic Park are both Steven Spielberg movies.

[@SuperJord88]

+VintageVHSTreasures Exactly.

[@battousaiblade]

im so happy i stumbled upon this video those 2 are great actors and man they can scream!

I was in loved in Jurassic park when I am all ways age in to a grow up

[@OldHoboManYouTube]

They should be siblings in my opinion they would be great siblings

[@35diamondgirl]

I remember this interview...Joe was a prolific child actor with important roles in several movies, not just JP...and he grew up to be Eugene Sledge in The Pacific and John Deacon in Bohemian Rhapsody...he also met his goal of becoming a director (and writer and producer) for Undrafted, an underrated baseball movie. Never a celebrity, always a very talented actor.

[@wisteela]

This is lovely

Awww cuties❤❤
