This is a general discussion thread for the role that Matt is famous for. Matt played Joey on Friends for 10 years, and then again on the show Joey, that was cancelled after 2 seasons. As a huge Friends fan, I loved him as Joey on the show. I think he was perfect for the part. But, I never… More cared for the show Joey.

Wherein we open up our personal envelopes and present our picks for which shows and actors should take home a little gold man this Sunday.
I love Matt for his role on Friends, yeah he may over-act a bit, but overall I think that he is slightly underrated. He has had the potential of becoming a huge star - he is! - but he could do more with his acting career. All he needs to do is get back on his feet and keep his head in the game and he come become a massive star... all he needs is 'the fear'!!
I haven't seen him on TV recently, but i hear that he's been filming for some movie called 'the watch'.
We love you Matt!!!
Born in July 25, 1967, Matt LeBlanc is very well known for his character Joey Tribbiani, in the series Friends and Joey. Matt was born to an Italian mother and a father who is a mix of Irish, Dutch, English and French. That's why, his last name, LeBlanc, is French, and means, "The White", while his character Joey, has an Italian last name. When he was a kid, he was interested in motorcycling, more than in acting. At the age of 8 he got his first motorcycle, and stated to participate in competitions. But his mother didn't like the idea and forced him to find a better career. He learned carpentry. He graduated from his local high - Newton North High School, in the year 1985. That's when he wanted to make himself a life in New York. Starting 1987, he began appearing on many commercials, making him famous. He managed to advertise many companies, and one commercial was even won the Gold Lion Award at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.
What can I say about this man? I have only ever seen Matt LeBlanc in the US, TV jit show and his own show, Joey. I loved him in Friends, hee was so funny. I miss him in that show, I wish it was still on, I miss laughing at him and Chandler. Those two where great together. I never laughed so hard when they are together! I also watched his show Joey, it wasn't like Friends, it didn't feel right just seeing him on his own. I was abit sad to see his show axed, but I'm glad in a way too. All in all Matt is an awesome actor and he should have been a bigger star.
Contrary to his looks, he is not Italian, but a various concoction of almost every other nationality. He played numerous Italian style characters in his career (which I hope is over soon enough) as a character called Vinnie in Married... With Children, and Joey Tribianni in Friends, and later the abysmal Joey, a spin off of friends. HIs film Lost In Space bombed, and maybe he should have taken note but went onto star in the two Charlies Angels movies. He piled on the pounds in Friends, yet still somehow charmed his way into some of the women's beds. Nasty.
Matt LeBlanc playes Joey Tribbioni on the hit-show friends. Joey is a very funny man and i think that Matt captures his personality very well. He makes everything about Friends even more hilarious. He is terrific actor and a funny one at that. He does a very good job protreying his character on Friends. He is definatly one of my favorite actors. He is a person that you could definatly look up to.
