Matt LeBlanc (Joey) @ imdb.com
Entertainment Weekly lauded Matt LeBlanc as "a rarity--a hunk with a gift for deadpan comedy," for his role as one of America's favorite "Friends." LeBlanc might never have detoured to acting if his mother, fearing for his safety, had not encouraged him to pursue something other than professional motorcycle racing.

After receiving his first motorcycle at age 8, LeBlanc participated in various amateur races and later even trained for a career in carpentry before ultimately deciding to become an actor.

After graduating from high school, LeBlanc set his sights on living in New York City. By 1987, he had obtained parts in national television commercials for such high-profile products as Levi's jeans, Coca-Cola and Doritos. He also appeared in a Heinz ketchup spot that won the prestigious Gold Lion Award at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

In 1988, LeBlanc began formal acting training. Within a year, he landed a starring role on the television series "TV 101" and relocated to Los Angeles. Since then, his television credits have included starring roles on "Top of the Heap" and "Vinnie & Bobby" and in the telefilm "Anything to Survive," opposite Robert Conrad. LeBlanc also guest starred on "Class of '96" and "Married...with Children."

LeBlanc appeared on the big screen in the 2000 blockbuster "Charlie's Angels," an update of the 1970s television series, opposite Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu, and in its successful sequel, "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." His other feature film credits include starring roles in "Lost in Space" and "Ed." LeBlanc can also be seen alongside Eddie Izzard in the war comedy "All the Queen's Men."

The National Italian American Foundation in Washington, D.C., recently honored LeBlanc for his contribution to the world of entertainment.

In addition to acting, LeBlanc enjoys working on his own cars and motorcycles--which include a Pantera racecar--and playing with his dogs. He currently lives in Los Angeles and is married to model Melissa McKnight. They recently welcomed their baby girl, Marina LeBlanc, on February 8, 2004. Matt LeBlanc's birthday is July 25.

Drea de Matteo (Gina) @ imdb.com
Drea de Matteo has charmed America as Adriana, Christopher's loyal and loving fiancée on HBO's critically acclaimed show "The Sopranos."

De Matteo stars in "Assault on Precinct 13," a remake of John Carpenter's 1976 thriller. The film also stars Ethan Hawke and Laurence Fishburne. Other feature films include MGM's "Deuces Wild" and Warner Bros.' "Swordfish."

She was most recently seen in theaters starring with Gina Gershon in "Prey for Rock & Roll," directed by Alex Steyermark. Later this year, de Matteo will begin filming Steyermark's next film, "West Memphis Three," which is based on the true story of three teenagers who were unfairly convicted in a triple-murder case.

At the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, de Matteo received phenomenal reviews for her portrayal as a Puerto Rican-American drug lord in Abel Ferrara's film "'R Xmas."

As if acting weren't enough, de Matteo co-owns the ultra hip East Village boutique Filth Mart. During her downtime, de Matteo goes back to HB Studios, where her mother has taught playwriting for over 25 years. She and her mother, Donna de Matteo, are always developing and looking out for new writers and projects, as well as working on their own material.

De Matteo has a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in film production.

Hoe zit het eigenlijk met de kijkcijfers van Joey in Amerika?

quote:

Joey slipped out of the season-to-date top twenty in January. American Idol and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have a stranglehold on the top spots, while Joey continues to compete with Will & Grace for the number-three sitcom behind Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and a Half Men. Next Thursday will mark the beginning of the second week of February sweeps, as Joey will get one final chance to improve without competition from Survivor before the reality program returns with its next premiere on February 17.
