His career began when he was 11, as he featured in the TV series “Storstad”, but then focused on education, and didn’t return to acting until the early ‘00s. He started with the Swedish film “The Invisible” in 2002, and then enrolled at the Swedish Academic School of Drama in Malmö. During his studies, Joel was quite active as an actor, appearing in several films such as “A Different Way”, “Storm” (2005), and “God Save the King” (2005), which laid the base of his net worth.
After he graduated, Joel continued with his career, and in 2008 appeared in the action adventure “Arn: The Kingdom at the End of the Road”, directed by Peter Flinth, and in 2009 had the lead role in the film “In Your Veins”, for which he received critical praise which propelled him into stardom. After that, he was cast in the role of Frank Wagner in the film series “Johan Falk”, with the first installment in 2009, appearing in the 10 sequels, all of which helped increase his net worth by a large margin.
In 2010 he had the lead role in the film “Easy Money”, which brought his name to international recognition. He repeated the role in sequels “Easy Money II: Hard to Kill” (2012), and “Easy Money III: Life Deluxe” (2013). This turned out to be fruitful, as he then had a part in the film “The Darkest Hour” in 2011, and also in the Oscar-awarded mystery drama “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, next to Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara. 2011 continued prosperously for Joel, as he was cast in the role of Stephen Holder in the TV series “The Killing”, and appeared in 44 episodes until 2014. His next big role was as Alex Murphy/RoboCop in the reboot of “RoboCop” (2014), directed by José Padilha, with Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton. In 2015 he featured in Terrence Malick`s romantic drama “Knight of Cups” starring Christian Bale, Kate Blanchet and Natalie Portman, and in Jaume Collet-Serra`s action drama “Run All Night”, featuring Liam Neeson and Ed Harris, which only improved his net worth by a large margin.
