Years before he became Joey Tribbiani, Matt Le Blanc was a struggling actor who made his living in the late 80s and early 90s appearing in...
...commercials for a number of world-famous advertisers. Here is a classic Coca-Cola ad from 1990 which aired as part of the "You Can't Beat The Feeling" campaign.
LeBlanc's "Friends" spin-off "Joey" was canceled early last year after it failed to hold on to even one third of its predecessor's audience.
In September 2006, the actor obtained a speedy divorce from his estranged wife Melissa McKnight.
The former couple share custody of their two year-old daughter Marina, while LeBlanc has agreed to pay for all the child's future private school tuition fees, medical costs, the services of a nanny, and his daughter's college expenses.
The court declared the actor is a "high-wage earner," and will pay $15,000-a-month in child support.
The couple signed a prenuptial agreement before they wed in 2003, in which McKnight waived her right for future spousal support, based on a cash amount she received.
A defamation lawsuit against the actor was dropped in December by Stephanie Stephens, a dancer in a Canadian strip club.
She filed the lawsuit after LeBlan's claims she was sexually aggressive and engaged him in a "night of sexual debauchery" were published in a 2005 National Enquirer article.
LeBlanc is currently not involved in any TV or movie projects.
If Matt LeBlanc doesn't get off his arse soon, he's gonna be one of those "has-been" actors...the "where are they now?" segment of Entertainment Tonight news.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, the spin-off was a bad move on his part. The whole concept was poorly conceived. He should've fired his manager or agent or whoever advised him to continue with the spin-off. The concept is no where close to what "Frasier"'s concept of a great spinoff (with 11 seasons as proof).
Plus, Matt's choices in movie roles really places him back in the C-list actor category. I really don't see him rising anymore, and his child and ex-wife is gonna suck his money up dry.
It's time that he does something drastic to get a good role, otherwise, I feel sorry for him.
