Joey Tribbiani was a down-on-his-luck actor at several points during “Friends” and so was Matt LeBlanc — before he landed his defining role.
In fact, LeBlanc was so poor before he became Joey that the actor said that he only had $11 to his name when he got the call that would change his life forever.
And that low bank balance was not for lack of trying, as LeBlanc was pinching pennies any way he could while auditioning, which included doing his own dental work. No, this is not something dumb that Joey did in an old episode that you may have missed.
