Re: Houston, We've Got A Problem ....

I don't know the name of Joseph's character - he is simply one of the many Mission Control technicians in the film. Evidently, he and the other actors, including stars Gary Sinese and Ed Harris, had to attend several on-set lectures from actual NASA personnel about space travel and the job that Mission Control did, before actual shooting began.

I got the feeling there was a sense of comradeship on the set, as they all spent days together shooting those scenes. Joseph has a few stand alone dialogue moments, as well as numerous dramatic shots where he helps personify the tension of the Mission Control team as they monitor the Apollo 13 situation.
