At age seven, Fatone kicked off his career starring alongside Robert DeNiro in the feature film Once Upon a Time in America. Growing up he was always drawn to entertainment and at 17 he landed a gig with Universal Studios in the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue; which was the catalyst to stardom. He met another theme park performer named Chris Kirkpatrick which would lead to his joining *NSYNC—before long they were the hottest act in the U.S., Europe and beyond. They quickly became one of the most iconic pop groups in history.
Following *NSYNC’s incredible success with albums that sold over 10 million copies and countless awards; Joey proved to be a prominent performer and personality in his own right. With projects spanning from television, film and theater, his talent has no boundaries. He hosted the popular, long-running show My Family Recipe Rocks!, which aired on the Live Well Network.

Joey's energetic spirit is unstoppable as he taps into his entrepreneurial side with Fat Ones, a hot dog business based in Orlando, FL.
