His most prominent role in the series was as Dr. Drake Ramoray on the serial drama Days of Our Lives.

Joey was seen throughout the series frantically looking for work, being a terrible actor in all the roles he landed, getting fired for his incompetence, being under-educated, overly flirtatious, and quite the adorable one in the group of six.

Joey's character was so beloved by fans that the show's creators created a spin-off show titled Joey, which revolved around his life after Friends ended. The spin-off show, however, did not fare well and was canceled after season two.
