Joey is portrayed as promiscuous and dim-witted, but very loyal and protective of his friends. As a struggling actor, he is constantly looking for work. He was ordained as a minister in "[[The One with the Truth About London]]", and officiated at both Monica and Chandler and [[Phoebe Buffay|Phoebe]] and Mike's weddings. It is revealed in [[The One After "I Do"]] that Joey has size seven feet, which he is secretive and defensive about. He also has a soft toy penguin named Hugsy (his "bedtime penguin pal"), whom he is very fond of and does not like to share. He also doesn't like sharing food and has difficulty with simple mathematics (evidenced by his using a [[calculator]] to add together 500+500).
