the ladies man
"Joey is charismatic. He's a crooner, a Sinatra," says JC of 21-year-old Joseph Anthony Fatone Jr., aka Fat One (a play on his last name). Joey
practically came into the world singing and dancing, thanks to dad Joseph Sr., who used to run a community theater in Brooklyn, New York, where
Joey was born.
Growing up, Joey sang in choirs and a capella groups and acted in school plays. Then, after the Fatones moved to Orlando in 1990, he sang
and danced in a Dr.Phillips High School production of the classic musical West Side Story.
"In drama class there was a bunch of guys, in choir there was a bunch of guys, but in dance there were only two or three, " recalls Joey, the
group's most notorious flirt. "Guys would be like, "How do you talk to all these girls?' I was like, 'Man, go to dance class!" After graduation, Joey's
styling moves got him work as the Wolfman in Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue at Universal Studios Florida. (His two siblings, Steven, 24, and Janine,
26, are currently employed by the Studios.)
Although Joey's 'N Sync success is no doubt a source of pride for all the Fatones (including mom, Phyllis, who manages 'N Sync's fan mail), it's
especially sweet for his dad, who some 30 years earlier harbored music dreams of is own. "I watch him and think, 'Jeez, maybe that's what I
would have been doing at [his age] if I'd been successful,"says Joseph Sr., once a member of a Brooklyn-based vocal group called The Orions.
"It's great to have him be successful doing what he wants to do and at the same time [have it] be an extension of what I would have liked for
myself."
Joseph Sr.'s other hope is for his son to return to acting. Joey Jr.'s all for it, especially if he could play Superman in the upcoming feature film.
But rumor has it Nicolas Cage already snagged the role. "They should get me!" the man-of-steel fan shouts. "I could do it! I just need to work
out! Or put muscles in [Superman's] vest, like Batman!"

Missy's Opinion On Joey: I think that Joey is the sensitive kinda guy. He really loves to flirt and if he gets dissed by every girl he asks, he'll probably be sad and will never ever want to deal with girls for the rest of his life. Here's an example: The "I Drive Myself Crazy" video when he gets slapped by his girl because he kissed another one. The girl's the one that is actually sensitive! Also, Joey is the smooth and serious kind of guy. You wouldn't agree with me on this if you watched the *NSYNC *N The Mix Video that just came out.
