Who is Joey Tribbiani in Friends?

How you doin'? · Across the Hall

Joey Tribbiani (How you doin'?) is a character in Friends, part of Across the Hall. Joey Tribbiani is a working actor in the loosest sense of both words: auditions, a regrettable Al Pacino butt-double gig, and eventually the role of Dr Drake Ramoray on Days of Our Lives, the soap that keeps firing and rehiring him. He loves food, women and his friends, in an order that depends on the sandwich. Simple is the wrong word — Joey's emotional intelligence routinely embarrasses the smarter people around him, and his loyalty is the group's load-bearing wall. Joey doesn't share food.
