About this person
Series co-creator Angela Santomero stated that Patton brought Joe, his character, closer to the preschool viewer, as Joe was more willing to "jump into a problem rather than figuring it out first like Steve". He also reprised his role as Joe in the spin-off Blue's Room (2004-2007) and the reboot Blue's Clues & You! (2019-2024). Since 2006, Patton also voices Bot on Nickelodeon's Team Umizoomi, and CatRat on the Netflix original DreamWorks series Gabby's Dollhouse.
