Joey Fatone Missed Out on a Role in ‘Entourage’ as This Character – Hollywood Life

Joey Fatone, the former NSYNC band member, revealed an interesting tidbit about his career in a recent interview with Hollywood Life. The 47-year-old singer confessed that he missed out on a potential role in the hit HBO series “Entourage” due to a missed phone call from producer Mark Wahlberg.

In the interview, Joey shared that Mark Wahlberg had reached out to him about a role in the show, mentioning that he reminded him of one of his friends. However, Joey never followed up on the offer, and two years later, “Entourage” premiered without him.

The role that Mark had in mind for Joey was that of Turtle, a character eventually played by actor Jerry Ferrara. Despite missing out on the opportunity, Joey has had a successful career in both film and television, with notable credits including the “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” movies and an appearance on “Hannah Montana.”

Recently, Joey reunited with his NSYNC bandmates, including Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Lance Bass, for a special performance. The group performed some of their biggest hits and collaborated on a track for Justin’s new album.

In addition to his music endeavors, Joey has also partnered with Skrewball Whiskey, a peanut butter flavored whiskey that has become a staple in his home bar. Joey expressed his excitement about the partnership and shared his plans for the upcoming horse racing season in Kentucky.

Overall, Joey Fatone’s career post-NSYNC continues to be filled with exciting opportunities and collaborations, showcasing his versatility and talent in the entertainment industry.
