Joe Penny, an actor from England, has a net worth of $500 thousand.
The birth of Joe Penny occurred on June 24, 1956, in London, England, to Joseph Edward Penny Jr.
The 1980s marked the point at which he first gained widespread recognition.
Penny, born to an American father and an Italian mother, spent his formative years in Marietta, Georgia.
He and his mother relocated to California after his parents’ divorce.
During her high school years, Penny was a student at Marina High School in Huntington Beach, California.

During the mid 1980’s, he achieved his highest level of success by portraying Nick Ryder on Riptide from 1984 to 1984 and Jake Styles on Jake and the Fatman from 1987 to 1992.
He later appeared in Hallmark Channel’s Jane Doe (2005), in which he played the role of Lea Thompson in a major role.
