Matt LeBlanc
Definition
American actor and television host, best known for portraying the lovably dim-witted Joey Tribbiani on the sitcom Friends (1994–2004).
Star of the short-lived Friends spin-off Joey (2004–2006) and co-host of the BBC motoring show Top Gear (2016–2019), where his transatlantic charm clashed hilariously with British wit.
Occasional director and producer, proving that not all Joeys stay in one place—some pivot to cars and cameos.
