Drea de Matteo Blames ‘Joey’ for Stalled Career
Can one television show really derail a career if an entertainer is talented, professional, and has no (or few visible) personality problems? Hmmm… That just might be the question when it comes to the latest news straight from the New York Post’s infamous Page Six gossip column.
Actress Drea de Matteo was allegedly overheard complaining in Manhattan that since appearing on the canceled NBC sitcom Joey, the overhyped series that starred then-fresh Friends alum Matt LeBlanc, her career has been pretty much kaput.
Prior to that failed series, the New York native had an Emmy-winning supporting role on The Sopranos as Gina Tribbiani, and she appeared in several movies, as well, including Assault on Precinct 13 and Swordfish.
What do you think? Could one lousy TV show really end the career of an actress who obviously brings talent to her work? Or is something else going on here? Notably, LeBlanc hasn’t acted on another TV show or in another movie since Joey either.
When called for a response to the gossip, de Matteo’s agent reportedly declined to oblige.
