The Friends Star Who Appeared In A Bob Seger Music Video

He continued perfecting his persona as a clean-cut Italian American when he played a guest role as Vinnie Verducci on the sitcom Married With Children and in the later spin-offs Top of the Heap and Vinnie & Bobby. So he was well suited for the role of Tribbiani, who was the only boy in a working class Italian family with eight children. LeBlanc's actual descent is part Italian, part French-Canadian.

After Friends ended in 2004, LeBlanc kept playing Tribbiani on the sitcom Joey for two years before poor ratings led to its cancellation. He later played a version of himself in Episodes on Showtime for five seasons. So his "character" was something the public became used to seeing. "Television has that weird thing," LeBlanc said to The Guardian. "You see a character in a multitude of situations over so many years, and you can't help but think that that is who that guy must be."

Lately, LeBlanc has acted on the CBS sitcom Man with a Plan, which was cancelled in 2020 after four seasons, according to TVline. His character, Adam Burns, balanced raising three children as his wife returns to work, while running a construction company with his brother. The character of Burns, of course, came from an Italian-American family. Why mess with a winning formula?
