Post 2000s Career

Lawrence began the new millennium with a role in the horror film "Urban Legends: Final Cut," and he starred alongside Claudia Schiffer and Christine Taylor in the comedy film "Desperate But Not Serious." In 2001, he starred in the thriller "Do You Want To Know A Secret?," and in the next year, he appeared in the thriller "Pandora's Box." His work in film as an adult tended to be in comedies or horror movies, and many were panned by critics. He shined on the small screen, and he returned to a consistent television role with the dramedy show "American Dreams," which also featured Brittany Murphy. It ran from 2002 to 2005 and won two Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2003, he was cast in the short-lived television show "Run of The House," which was about a group of siblings living without their parents.

In 2010, Lawrence was cast as lead alongside Melissa Joan Hart in the ABC Family sitcom "Melissa & Joey." The show was a hit for ABC and enjoyed high ratings until viewership began to decline in its fourth season. It followed local politician Mel Burke and Ponzi Scheme victim Joey as they struggle comedically to raise Burke's niece and nephew. The series wasn't renewed for a fifth season and ended in 2015. The show's opening song was "Stuck with Me," which was performed by Lawrence. He then began a recurring guest role on the show "Hawaii Five-0"

Music Career

Lawrence has always had a passion for music, and he was only sixteen when he released his first album "Joey Lawrence." It was commercially successful with several songs charting, but he did not make music his focal point and prioritized his acting career.

Personal Life

Joey was married to Michelle Vella from 2002 to 2005. He married Chandie Yawn-Nelson in 2005. They had two daughters. They filed for divorce in 2020. Interestingly, Joey and Chandie actually met in 1993 at Disney World when he was 16 and on vacation. They had an ice cream date and joked about getting married at the theme park. Fast forward to 2005 and they made that dream come true.
