BioFull Name: Joseph Lawrence, Jr.
Birthdate: 4/20/76
Hair: Light brown
Eyes: Hazel
Birthplace: Philadelphia, PA
Current Residence: Los Angeles, CA
Joseph Lawrence, Jr. was born on April 20, 1976 in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is the oldest of his three brothers at 24 years old. He began performing at the age of 4, after convincing his parents that he could do what his peers were doing on television. He has since gone on to international stardom as both an actor and singer.
Joey won the first commercial job he auditioned for, and made his television singing debut at the age of 5 on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson singing "Give My Regards To Broadway" and "Zippity Doo Da". He went on to appear in commercials for several name brand products.
As a child, he guest-starred on the series Silver Spoons and Diff'rent Strokes. He was then cast in the popular series Gimme A Break, starring Nell Carter for four seasons. The two still continue to be life-long friends. His next performance was as the dimwitted but lovable Joey Russo on the long-running series Blossom. It made Lawrence a household name. The highly-rated series ran for five seasons and is currently in syndication nationwide. He has also made guest appearances on the series Empty Nest, Almost Home and The John Larroquette Show. Lawrence previously starred in his own TV show with his brothers Matt and Andy - Brotherly Love - which now airs on the Disney Channel.
Lawrence played the dual roles of a rock star and a pizza delivery boy in the television movie Prince for a Day, a modern re-telling of Mark Twain's classic tale The Prince and the Pauper. He also starred with his real-life brothers, Matt and Andy, in the 1995 television movie Brothers of the Frontier, and in the after-school specials Umbrella Jack and Don't Touch. In the George Lucas feature film Radioland Murders, Lawrence made a cameo appearance as a handsome young crooner. Other movies Joe has appeared in are Pulse and Chains of Gold with friend John Travolta.
The Philadelphia native also has a promising music career. In 1993, he released his debut album, Joey Lawrence at the age of 17. The album, which launched his recording career in the United States and Europe, went gold and produced two hit singles -- the Top Ten smash Nothin' My Love Can't Fix and Stay Forever. It also included tracks such as Read My Eyes and I Can't Help Myself. The album sold over two million copies worldwide.
Joe's second album is entitled Soulmates and was released on September 16, 1997.
Currently, Joe is busy working on his third album as well as several independent projects including a movie he wrote with a few friends entitled The Loop. It will be his first movie directorial. He most recently completed two independent flicks called Tequila Body Shots, a dark comedy and Desperate But Not Serious starring Claudia Schiffer. He will also be starring in the next installment of Urban Legend movies - Urban Legend 2 released Fall 2000 which he is going by Joseph Lawrence.
Some things about me!
* I'm left-handed
* My family has two dogs named Jack and Cody
* Turned down the movie Major Payne because I wouldn't cut his hair short
* I love collecting cars
* I am labeled the neat freak
* Life-long dream: "My life long dream is to have a really great family of my own someday and be able to support them in every aspect possible (i.e. emotionally, etc.). If I do that, that will be my greatest accomplishment."
* In my free time: "I love to write, I love to play sports, and I really love to watch football actually."
* I graduated in 1994 with a 4.6 GPA
* I was the very first guest on The Mike and Maty Show
* When I was born, I weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz.
* I don't like watching myself on TV
* The first song I ever wrote was Read My Eyes at age 11 about a girlfriend who broke up with me.
* My nickname is Macaroni (Don't ask!)
