Joseph Absolom (born 16 December 1978 in Greenwich, London, England) is a British actor best known for playing Matthew Rose in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders.
At the start of his acting career he appeared in the television series The Bill, Dangerfield and Silent Witness.
He joined EastEnders in 1997 and his main claim to fame was in the Saskia Duncan murder storyline in 1999 when his character Matthew Rose was wrongly imprisoned for the murder by the real culprit Steve Owen (played by Martin Kemp). After departing from the show in February 2000, he won the Best Actor Award at the British Soap Awards.
Since leaving EastEnders, he appeared in the 2002 British horror film Long Time Dead and has played supporting roles in the ITV television series Doc Martin and Vincent.
