First as Dr. Drake Remoray (sp?) and then the writers killed him off because claimed writing credit. And then they had him come back from his coma as a woman after a brain transplant. There was also something to do with being Dr. Drake Remoray’s twin… but I forget if that was just a ploy to get rid of the crazy stalker woman or if there was an actual Days of Our Lives plot for that. ---

> [@PeskiPiksi](#): > > Well, she didn’t actually have sex with him. She liked one of her clients, so she did some feet flirting with him and then told him about her crush. They were kissing when her boss walked in on them and assumed the worst (turned out the guy was married, too. Poor Phoebe!) > > Then on the way home after being fired she started offering massages to random people on the street, which led to the same misunderstanding with the police! Thanks for reminding me of the details. I’d didn’t think she actually engaged in an act of prostitution anyway. ---

There was Hans Remoray, which was to throw off the stalker, but later on they brought his twin on to the show. Joey was mad about having to audition to play his own twin, and he didn’t get the part. ---

> [@Grapefruit](#): > > Prostitution is an iffy one; we don’t have actual confirmation, in passing or not, that she was actually one. She did say **a** pimp spit in her mouth, but she didn’t make a distinction on whether it was **her** pimp. I remember one episode, the following is paraphrased from memory, but ir went something very roughly like this: Rachael: I’m not sure if I want to go to Ross’s wedding. Phoebe: This is like when I was living on the streets, and I was offered money for sex. Rachael : How is that the same? Phoebe: Oh, that’s right, mine was actually a serious problem. The dialogue implied that she did at least give the offer some serious consideration ---

(I also remember he had to fake having a foreskin in vying for a role, that I believe Phoebe helped make?.. ttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—umpp.) It was a movie role. His character had a love scene with a Jewish woman who’d never seen a non-Jewish penis. Monica was the one who made the fake foreskin. She actually made several of them for Joey to try on. One of which was had fur on it and she ended up keeping for herself. ---

Another job that Joey had: Gladiator at Caesar’s Palace. Also a tour guide at Ross’s museum. ---

> [@Grapefruit](#): > > No no, I believe it was the one where he got fired for using Al Pacino’s shower. He was using Charlton Heston’s becasue he overslept, and didn’t have time to shower. Once Moses discovered it, he said,“Put some pants on so I can kick your butt.” I agree with the above poster’s recollection that Joey’s overacting got him fired as a butt double. ---

Joey also made some money as a sperm donor. “Boy, I bet you make money hand over fist!” Later when Monica wanted to go to a sperm donor she realized one of the donors was Joey. He was also a cologne spraying cowboy. “Hombre?” ---

Joey also had a short porn career. When he got to the set, he couldn’t go through with it, so they gave him a walk-on as the copier repairman. “There I am!.. There I am!..
