Joseph "Joey" Francis Tribbiani, Jr. (born January 9, 1968) is a fictional character on the popular US television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), and the title character in the spin-off, Joey (2004-2006), and is played by Matt LeBlanc.

Joey comes from an Italian American^[1] family of 8 children, of which he is the only male. He is one of the few "Friends" that made (relatively) few moves of home, having only changed apartments four times in the series: once, when he and Chandler moved into what is usually Monica's apartment after winning it from her in a game in "The One with the Embryos" and then moved back with Chandler into his own apartment; another time, he moved to his own lavish apartment away from Chandler, with whom the psychotic Eddie moved in, but shortly moved back afterwards. Joey is a "stereotypical" actor: oversexed, under-educated and constantly looking for work. He was ordained a minister in The One with Chandler And Monica's Wedding.
