Joseph Campbell or Joe Campbell may also refer to:

Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His work is vast, covering many aspects of the human experience. His philosophy is often summarized by his phrase: "Follow your bliss."

Joseph Campbell was born and raised in White Plains, New York in an upper middle class Irish Catholic family. As a child Campbell became fascinated with Native American culture after his father took him to see the American Museum of Natural History in New York where he saw on display featured collections of Native American artifacts. He soon became versed in numerous aspects of Native American society, primarily in Native American mythology. This led to Campbell's lifelong passion for myth and to his study and mapping of the cohesive threads in mythology that appeared to exist among even disparate human cultures.

In 1921 he graduated from the Canterbury School in New Milford, Connecticut.

Larry Joseph Campbell (born November 29, 1970) is an American actor and comedian best known for his role as "Andy" on the ABC sitcom According to Jim.

Born in Cadillac, Michigan, Campbell received a Bachelor's of Applied Arts in theater at Central Michigan University and a Master of Arts in theater at Wayne State University.

His first high profile TV guest star role probably was as "the fan" in a February 2000 episode of Friends. The next year he was cast as "Andy" on According to Jim. He has also appeared in movies, such as Wedding Crashers, Showtime, as "locker room cop #2", and in commercials, such as Ballpark hot dog commercials as "Frank", and a PSA for the V-chip on ABC, as Jim's "Andy". In 2007, he appeared in two episodes of My Name Is Earl as Ron, a security prison guard. He also appeared as a cop on the take in a few episodes of Weeds.

Campbell performed improvisational comedy with the Second City Detroit, and it was there where he was discovered when Bob Saget performed with the group and was impressed enough by Campbell to let his manager know about him. Campbell also dabbles in playwriting, he's a member of the comedy troupe the 313, and he has starred in a one-man play he wrote, Terry vs. the Towel Lady at Planet Ant in Hamtramck, Michigan.

According to Jim is an American sitcom television series starring Jim Belushi in the title role as a suburban father of three children. It originally ran on ABC from October 3, 2001 to June 2, 2009.

Jim is an abrasive but lovable suburban father. Much like his real life counterpart, Jim's character is noted as a fan of blues music, as well as the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks. Together with his wife Cheryl, whose middle name is Mabel, they have three children, daughters Ruby and Gracie and son Kyle. In the seventh season they become parents of a pair of twins Jonathan and Gordon.

Jim often finds himself in messy situations because his laziness inclines him to search for alternative ways of doing things with least effort. While Cheryl's brother Andy may be Jim's best friend, her sister Dana frequently teams up with Cheryl against Jim. He also prefers to lie to Cheryl and Dana to do his own activities but they end up backfiring on him. He hates losing to women (e.g. Hot Dog Eating Contests, Hamburger Eating Contests, Pizza Eating Contests, Pot Pie Eating Contests), especially if Cheryl or Dana find out. He doesn't like people interrupting him when he talks, so he speaks over them to shut them up. Jim often makes an example of Andy, who doesn't have a girlfriend.
