ADD TRIVIA-
Joseph admits to being both a recovering alcoholic and a [former] sex addict, who spent much of his marriage hiding his unfaithfulness.
-
For 9 months in 1996 Joseph resided at New York's Rivington House on the Lower East Side. He described the facility as "a nursing home for people with AIDS." While there, Breen's health hit rock bottom, but he managed to bounce back thanks to "his faith."
-
In the 90s Joseph began working on his autobiography, entitled Between the Lines: Real Life by Joe Breen. He says he wrote it as part of his healing process and to tell people not to go down the same road he did.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Joseph: I believe that when you live in fear of something it kind of self-creates in your life.
-
Joseph: (on playing "bad guys" on both Loving and Guiding Light) I'm thrilled! I wouldn't want to play a Josh Lewis or an Alex Masters. I like playing someone with a twist.
-
Joseph: (on his Guiding Light character) The real interesting part of Will to me is although daytime audiences supposedly hate bad guys, I never got a piece of bad fan mail. I'd get things like, 'You're so bad we love you,' or 'You hate Josh Lewis, well, so do we!' Everybody identified with the character. I was surprised because I wasn't going for that.
