All the common sense that Joseph Bruce Ismay’s character lacked, he made up for with his vanity. We can trace the sinking of the Titanic back to many of this character’s decisions. Of course, that also meant that the character wasn’t very popular in the story. However, as much as we blame Joseph, we all speak very highly of Jonathan Hyde, the actor who played the character. Today, he is a family man, having been married for 40 years, and he’s still working in the film and theater industry. He has also given his voice to several animated characters such as Waltolomew Stricklander (or Walter Strickler) in Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia.
