Born in Milford, Pennsylvania, Joslyn was the son of Orlando West Joslyn Jr. and Gertrude Meyer. He studied drama with Professor E. C. Durfee at Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia, and later attended Columbia University. By 1921, Joslyn had joined the Greenwich Village Follies. It was his acclaimed performance as Robert Law—a character reputedly modeled on screenwriter Charles MacArthur—in the 1935 hit Broadway comedy Boy Meets Girl that first caught Hollywood producer-director Mervyn LeRoy's eye, leading to Joslyn making his 1937 screen debut, alongside that of Lana Turner, in LeRoy's They Won't Forget.
