My Take
Joey Lawrence earns my respect simply for surviving. A Philadelphia kid who started as a child actor, he managed the rarest trick in the business, crossing the fragile bridge from precocious youngster to working adult performer. Beloved as Joey in Blossom, he kept headlining years later in Melissa & Joey, while also writing songs, composing, and studying at the University of Southern California. I am charmed too by the detail that he shared the screen with his real brothers, a sign of a family that sharpened its craft together. He may never have been flashy, but he is a tenacious industry lifer, and I like that.
