Character: Joey Tribbiani
Friend Type: The dim one
Occupation: Actor
Originally, Joey was a bit of a macho stud but he's
grown up. His main trouble still is he loves life more
than work - especially women, sport and himself.
Unfortunately his acting skills haven't matured as
fast, but this makes his interpretations in Freud! and
Days of Our Lives highly memorable - and who
could forget his motivation problem as Al Pachino's
butt double.
He came into the gang of friends by the way of
becoming Chandler's roommate, replacing Kip, and
whilst moving in made an immediate impression on
Monica - who at that time had the hots for him - by
misinterpreting 'come in for some lemonade' as
'come in for some sex'!
Joey's main contributions include introducing
Chandler to the world of 'Baywatch'.
Whilst earning a lot of cash as 'Dr Drake
Ramoray', Joey got big-headed, and moved out of
the apartment leaving Chandler to be frightened by
Eddie. He was soon brought back to earth after his
character was killed off, leaving him with massive
debts - remember his ceramic zoo? - and eventually
returned to the apartment much to Chandler's
delight.
One thing's certain though, if any one of the six is
going to say something really, really, stupid - it'll be
Joey.
