The MovieWise Take
"Joey Dedio’s turn in *Trick* remains a quintessential slice of nineties cult-cinema lightning, capturing a specific, neon-soaked charisma that never fully got its due. He is the ultimate "what could have been" of the indie era—a performer whose magnetic, lived-in ease provided the heartbeat for a film that defined a generation."

When he was young, Dedio appeared in the NBC soap opera Another World and the television version of The Karate Kid, as well as performing the voice of Wheeler in the environmentalist cartoon show, Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

His other voice roles include Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, Extreme Ghostbusters and Denver, the Last Dinosaur.
