Josef Altin (born in London) is a British television and film actor. Altin has played small roles in various TV shows and films, including "The Bill," "Peep Show" and "Babyfather." He appeared in J. C. Moore's popular play "The Empire" at the Royal Court Theatre in London.

Altin was born in London to a Turkish family. His first television appearance was as Harry in the drama series "Psychos." His first appearance in a major British TV series came in 2004, when he played a rigger in "Blackpool." Over the years, Altin appeared several times in "The Bill" in different roles; from 2006 to 2007 he played Jay Henderson, and in 2009 he played Peter Balmain. After appearing in "The Bill," he became a fairly in-demand actor and received many other roles in the following years, appearing in both TV series and films several times a year.

In 2007, Altin appeared in two films, the first of which was "Boy A," where he played Zadira, and perhaps the highest-budget film of his career, "Eastern Promises," where he played Ekrem.

He has also appeared in other major TV series, including "Peep Show," "Doctors," "Robin Hood," "Casualty," "Little Miss Jocelyn," "New Tricks," "Being Human," "Misfits" and "Law & Order: UK." Top Boy
