Matt LeBlanc
A former model and commercial actor who utilized his working-class persona and easy charm for comedic effect, actor Matt LeBlanc struggled through a number of failed series before becoming one of the highest-paid performers on television as a cast member of the long-running "Friends" (NBC, 1994-2004). As the dim-witted but good-natured Joey Tribbiani, a struggling actor and serial lothario, LeBlanc became an instant household name alongside his co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox. But just like his castmates, LeBlanc struggled to translate his small screen success to feature films. LeBlanc had the toughest time with his big screen career despite a major supporting role in the critically maligned "Lost in Space" (1998) and the monster hit "Charlie's Angels" (2000). LeBlanc returned to series television with "Joey" (NBC, 2004-06), which depicted the continuing adventures of Joey Tribbiani in Los Angeles. Despite heavy promotion, audience interest in "Joey" waned by season's end, leading to the show's cancellation in the middle of Season Two. He would go on to critical acclaim by lampooning himself on "Episodes" (Showtime, 2010-15), and later co-hosted a rebooted version of the popular British auto show "Top Gear" (BBC 2016- ) while returning to American network TV as the star of family sitcom "Man With A Plan" (CBS 2016- ). Regardless of his post-"Friends" struggles, LeBlanc remained one of the more recognizable and beloved television actors working in the business.
