MAIN Art &... Pop Culture TV Stars Matt LeBlanc

Born Matthew LeBlanc on July 25, 1967 in Newton, Massacusetts, the handsome star of Friends (and lone survior of its cancellation with a a lead role in Joey, a hit spinoff) began his career as a model and TV commercial star.

In fact, it was an award-winning Heinz ketchup commercial ("Good things come to those who wait") in 1987 that eventually catapulted his television career, with his first series for CBS: TV 101 bombing after only 18 weeks. The young actor continued on, however, with appearances on Married with Children, and in two very short-lived series, Top of the Heap and Vinny and Bobby.

His breakthrough role as Joey Tribbiani in Friends in 1994 made him not only a familiar face but a bankable star, which he parlayed into a separate movie career beginning with Ed in 1996, a starring role in Lost in Space, (1998), and in the mega-hit Charlie's Angels (2000) opposite Lucy Liu, Drew Barrymore, and Cameron Diaz.

Most recently, the actor won for Favorite Male TV Star at the 2005 People's Choice Awards and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for his starring role in NBC's Joey.
