No matter what he does in life, the hunky Italian Matt LeBlanc will always be known as the harmlessly dim-witted Joey Tribbiani on the super popular sitcom Friends, and on the less-than-popular spin-off Joey. Before Matt was hanging out at Central Perk, shooting the shit with his equally-as-good-looking friends, he was honing his goofiness on the shows TV 101, Top of the Heap, and Vinnie & Bobby. Before TV he did what most struggling actors do and appeared in a variety of different small projects. In the late 1980’s he was in a number of commercials for companies like Heinz and Coca-Cola. He also appeared in the music videos for Tom Petty’s song "Into the Great Wide Open", Jon Bon Jovi’s "Miracle" and Alanis Morissette’s "Walk Away" as well as a few episodes of the classic Married…with Children. He also showed his body off doing a little modeling including being the cover model for the gay travel guide Damron Travel Guide. Matt was built for the boob tube because he was unable to get his silver screen career in motion, but he did appear in less-than-memorable movies like Grey Knight (1993), Lookin’ Italian (1994), Ed (1996), and Lost in Space (1998). Though he’s always had a beefy body, Matt’s never been one to show skin. It wasn’t until season four, episode four of the Showtime comedy series Episodes that we got to see Matt minus his shirt, proving that he’s an ageless hunk. In the scene, Matt strips naked and takes a crab into a shower to surprise his girl only to catch her with another man. We don’t see a lot, but his upper body is fit as fuck! We’d like Matt to be our friend with benefits!
