Joseph Yamoska (
25 December 1949 –18 April 1986 ) was an Americanhomosexual pornographic actor who worked under thestage name Joey Yale.Joey started his career in the original "Disney on Parade" traveling show. When he met gay porn director Fred Halsted outside a bar in West Hollywood, Fred convinced him to star in his first pornographic film, "L.A. Plays Itself". Joey filmed most of the work, but got cold feet and backed out prior to the finish of the film.
Several years later, however, that relationship was rekindled, and Joey and Fred became business and personal partners. They lived together for many years in a West Hollywood apartment. Their partnership included their gay porn company "Cosco".
Joey's career was greatly bolstered by several performances with veteran actor Brett Mahoney of New York. Their relationship offscreen, however, was violent. After the infamous scene where Joey brutalizes Brett in several ways, they never talked again. David "The Dick" Clements also helped to boost his career. They enjoyed nights of wine and 3-way sex with Dom "lil D" Izzo. They all loved S&M.
In July 1983, Joey performed with John Holmes in one of Holmes' gay films, "The Private Pleasures of John C. Holmes". At the time Yale had already contracted
AIDS , and died three years later of complications, in 1986.ee also
