When you see Matt LeBlanc’s face, what name pops to mind first? Is it, in fact, Matt LeBlanc?

Or could it be Joey Tribbiani?

LeBlanc has been playing the part of Joey on Friends (not to mention his own show, Joey) for so long that many people may not actually know his real name. They just know the lady-crazy, lovable simpleton who lives across the hall.

Joey is one of the six friends that make up the Friends gang. The only son growing up with seven sisters, Joey has lived around women his whole life and seems to have a natural charm that allows him to attract females with ease. At the same time, however, he’s also deceptively brain-dead, and much of the show’s humor comes from his utter cluelessness and poor decision making.

Joey works as an actor for a living, and though he has his ups and downs by the end of the show he’s proven relatively successful in his endeavors. He’s back to struggling to get by in Joey, however.

He’s also best friends and, for a long time, roommates with Chandler Bing. Their relationship is arguably the longest lasting on the show, as they do have a tendency to act like an old married couple (a fact that does not go unnoticed by their friends). Some of the show’s funniest moments revolve around Chandler and Joey.
