Joseph "Joey" Lawrence (born April 20, 1976) is an American actor. He became             
successful through the TV show Gimme A Break and followed that up with the TV           
series Blossom in the 1990s, in which he played the character Joey Russo, a dim-witted   
young man who frequently uttered the phrase "WHOA!" At that time he used his             
nickname Joey. In the wake of his acting success, he started a recording career,         
releasing two albums during the 1990s. In later years he switched his name to           
Joseph. Most recently he competed in the 2006 season of Dancing With the Stars           
competition, but was eliminated from the competition on November 9, 2006.
