Joey tribbiani

The exact age of Joey is unknown. In 1995, he said he was 25 years old. The next year, he says he is 28 years old. In 2001, Chandler said that Joey 32. And in the first season of the series "Joe" it is said that the main character is 35.

In the series, Joey is portrayed as a stereotypical actor . He is poor, poorly educated, naive and is in a constant search for work. At the same time, he is very charming and successful in women, which he constantly uses. Joey loves to eat, especially steaks and sandwiches . Apparently, Joey has a very fast metabolism - after all, in almost every series we observe how he eats a huge amount of food and this does not prevent him from staying in good physical shape. According to Chandler, Joey eats five times a day. Joey does not disdain spoiled, old or lying on the floor food. Moreover, he can eat it directly from the floor. The most difficult choice for him between a girl and a meal. When asked what he would refuse - from sex or food - he could not make a decision and eventually cried out “I want girls on bread!” . During one of the trips, he jumped forward and “saved” Ross from the alleged shot, although he was actually trying to save his sandwich, and Ross was just sitting next to him. He also loves to order "according to Joe's recipe" - two pizzas. He also genuinely hates sharing food.

Joey is poorly versed in almost all topics. However, at the same time he is brilliant in everything related to sex and romance. Often simply relying on his catchphrase “How are you?” , He conquers women's hearts. But sometimes he is capable of good ideas when the situation requires it. Therefore, in the series “The episode in which Ross makes an appointment with a student,” Chandler calls Joey “ The Rain Man, ” when he suggested that Ross compare the students ’handwriting with a control to identify who wrote him the anonymous romantic confession. In another case, Joey came up with a story called “European History” or “Magic Story”. Anyone who hears her immediately wants to have sex with the narrator. This was effectively proven in the episode “Video Record” when Rachel tries to seduce Ross with this story. Joey is also clever in other cases, for example, in Ross’s Teeth Episode , while the other five friends sit in Central Coffee House and think about why the authorities don’t like them, Joey was the one who said: “Maybe it’s because you are hanging out in the cafe at 11:30, when the window is Wednesday ?! ”

Joey is extremely inattentive to women. In Monica's Party Episode , Chandler asks Joe, “You did have a lot of sex, didn't you?” , To which Joey replies, “When?” Today? No ... not really . ” He sleeps with many intern girls and assistants on shows in which he works (although he refused the advice of his agent to have sex with female producers in order to get the role, because he wanted to be taken exclusively for acting, but in general, when the situation became hopeless, he often resorted to the advice of an agent). Joey became sexually active quite early - he unfastened his bra to a 16-year-old girl when he was nine years old, slept with his teacher in the seventh grade, and had wild success at the spring student camp when he was 13. He is very attractive to all women, but they can never carry him into a serious relationship. Crown phrase: "How you doing?"

It also becomes known that he is a big fan of Stephen King , and that he rereads his Shine again and again, and is also a fan of the adaptation of one of his novels, Kujo . He also became a fan of the classic novel, Little Women , which Rachel asked to read in order to prove to Joey that this book is better than his favorite Radiance. Joey fell in love with this novel and was very sad when he learned that one of the main characters of the book was dying.

The following roles of Joey in "Friends" are known: in advertising lipstick for men, which was shown only in Japan and was very popular there; an advertising video about a device that allows you to easily pour milk out of the box; the main role in the film about the First World War “There”, and the main role in a very short series called “Mack and Ch. I. I. Z.”, which was canceled after the first series of the show.

In terms of theatrical work, he appeared in a play entitled “ Boxing Day ”, in which his hero “Victor” flies into space, and also played Sigmund Freud in the play “Freud!”. Monica and Chandler also once said they saw Joey in the Macbeth version. Chandler also claimed to have seen Joey in the remake of Pinocchio .

In one of the episodes, Joey auditioned for the main role in the film, in which the immigrant Catholic was to play. The film was supposed to play naked in a sexual scene, but Joey did not know that the main character must have been without circumcision . Joey did not fit this criterion, but really wanted to get the role. He explained the situation to Monica, and they desperately tried to artificially create the missing part, eventually gluing him a goose paste in this place. All this seemed successful until Joey undressed on the samples, where his new “foreskin” fell, forcing him to say: “Honestly ... this has never happened to me before . ”

In addition to quickly canceling the series Mack and Ch. I. I. Z., Joey had a number of other unsuccessful projects for his career. In the episode of the series Law and Order, he was supposed to play the dying man, but due to constant mistakes, he was eventually shown only as a corpse in a closed bag. He was also supposed to star in the film “Speed ​​of Shot,” but that one was closed before filming began. Later, in the continuation of “Friends”, in the series “ Joey ”, he refused the role in the new comedy series “The Brothers”, choosing another starting sitcom . His series failed and quickly closed, and the "Nurses" became a hit.

However, there were successful roles in his career. The most famous of his roles is the performance of Dr. Drake Ramore in the popular television series Days of Our Lives . But once the screenwriter of the series, offended by what Joey said in an interview as if he was inventing his own texts, killed his character by throwing him in the elevator shaft . However, later Joey returned to the series - his hero, lying in a coma , came out of it with a brain transplant. In “Joey” it was shown how this hero of his again dies when a nurse stabbed him with a scalpel while he operated on her husband ( “Joey and the Wrong Name” ). During this moment, Joey received the Best Mortal Scene Award. In later episodes of Joey, he got the lead role in the prime time TV series Deep Powder. When Joey was fired from that job, he almost immediately got a role in a high-budget action movie.

Joey briefly tells friends that Al Pacino is his idol. In Friends, Joey’s bedroom has a poster for Al Scacino’s film, Scarface . The same poster was later seen in his bedroom on the Joey series. In one of the episodes of Friends, Joey was hired as a substitute for Al Pacino and had to play his buttocks while taking a shower - he lost this role due to ... "replay". It is also mentioned many times that his favorite film is Die Hard . In season 2, it becomes known that Joey once starred in a porn film.

In “An Episode with a Racing Car Bed, ” Joey teaches acting classes in the soap opera class. Joey spent some time as a waiter at Central Coffee Shop. When there was a temporary lull in his acting career and there were no offers, he convinced Gunter to give him work in a coffee shop. At first, Joey tried to hide a new job from his friends, as he was ashamed, but they soon found out about this and understood him. He did not like to work, but, true to his nature, he soon found a way to use his position to meet attractive women by providing them with cakes and rolls for free. Gunter soon found out about this and forbade him to do this. Joey did not take his job seriously and spent a lot of time talking with friends. He was later fired for closing the cafe in the middle of the day to go for an audition, while Hunter went about his business (“dyeing his hair”), leaving Joey in charge. Rachel was able to convince Hunter to return Joey to his work. However, Joey soon found a more profitable place and simply stopped going to work in a coffee shop. Nobody noticed his absence there. In the end, Joey recalls that he forgot to tell Hunter that he quit, and he replied that he would eventually have to fire him.

Another time, when Joey had little money, he decided to become a sperm donor for an experiment that was being conducted at the hospital, and for which he received $ 700. When Monica, experiencing a break with Richard Burke , decided that she wanted to have a baby, she began to look for sperm donors. She realized from the profile of one of the anonymous donors that it was Joe. Joey was very offended when he found out that his sperm was not very popular.

Joey's other short-term work included selling Christmas trees, dressing up in a Santa Claus costume and a Christmas elf , working as a guide at the Natural History Museum , where he was invited by Ross, working in a department store where he offered visitors samples of perfumes, and working in a Roman warrior costume at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas .

He also worked as a waiter under the name "Dragon", in the restaurant "At Alessandro", where Monica was a chef. Monica hired him only so that he provoked a conflict with her and she could fire him with a scandal, thereby intimidating the rest of the staff, who did not respect her and scoffed at her. Having received a lot of tips on the first day, Joey refused the deal and did not conflict. But the next day, seeing how his subordinates continued to mock Monica, he still decided, provoked a conflict and was successfully dismissed, which helped Monica take control of the situation.

Also in one of the episodes, Joey was hired by Chandler as an incoming information processor. He regarded this work as a role in the cinema, created a whole backstory where he was Joseph Data Processor, who had a wife and two daughters. Chandler began to annoy the "Joseph" when he eventually began to expose and expose Chandler, while assenting to the leadership and employees. Joey was eventually forced to leave after Chandler admitted to sleeping with Joseph's fictional wife.

Before the wedding of Monica and Chandler, when they complained to him that they could not find someone worthy who would marry them, Joey asked for this role, while ordering himself a priest through the Internet. This allowed him to marry his friends. He apparently retained this right until the tenth season, when he married Phoebe and Mike. At the same time, he argued that priests are allowed to ride the subway for free (while clarifying that it is necessary to carefully study the Bible and make sure that it is indicated in it).

In the sixth series of the third season of “Friends”, it is shown that Joey met the rest of the characters, coming on the ad of Chandler, who was looking for a neighbor to rent an apartment . Since then, Chandler and Joey have become best friends and went through a lot together: they managed to lose Ross’s baby, have Chicken and Duck , built a huge cupboard that closed the entrance to both rooms of their apartment, changed the dining table to table football , watched TV for 24 hours and tons ate pizza ... Joey and Chandler lived together until the moment when Chandler and Monica came together (in addition, Joey once moved to a separate apartment, but quickly returned). But even when Chandler and Monica decided to move to a separate house, they promised that he would definitely have a room for Joe.

When Chandler moved to Monica, and Phoebe's apartment burned down, Rachel became Joey's neighbor. Living together made them very close and, ultimately, Joey fell in love with her. At the beginning of season 10, she responded to his feelings. However, after some time they realized that they were just very good friends.

Joey has a very good relationship with other friends: he treats Ross very well, constantly raids Monica’s refrigerator and is very close to Phoebe.

Joey wrote a letter of recommendation to help Chandler and Monica with adoption.
