Joey Fatone is also one of the contestants in Food Network's "Rachael vs. Celebrity Cook-Off." He previously hosted ABC's "Karaoke Battle USA" and NBC's ultimate sing-along, variety game show "The Singing Bee."

America's dancing dynamo and former *NSYNC star was also seen competing on Season 4 of the hit ballroom competition series "Dancing with the Stars," in which he and his professional partner Kym Johnson placed second. He also participated in the national "Dancing with the Stars" tour.

Joey Fatone grew up in a family of performers. Born Joseph Anthony Fatone Jr., his father Joe Sr., sang in the Brooklyn doo-wop group, the Orions. Joey was always performing and in his first acting gig at age seven he starred with Robert De Niro in the feature film "Once Upon a Time in America."

Fatone was seen in the feature films "Homie Spumoni" with Whoopi Goldberg, Donald Faison ("Scrubs") and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, "The Cooler," alongside Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock") and William H. Macy, and "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," which became the fifth-highest grossing film of 2002 in North America.

In 2005, Fatone's pilot of the Cartoon Networks' "Robot Chicken" aired and has since become a top-rated show on that channel. He has also recorded a number of character voices on hit Disney Channel shows such as "Jo Jo's Circus" and "Higgly Town Heroes."

In 2004, Fatone starred as Seymour in the Broadway musical "Little Shop of Horrors." His other Broadway credits include the role of Mark Cohen in the hit Broadway musical "Rent."

When Fatone was 17, he got a job as the Wolfman at Universal Studios in the Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue. While there, he met another theme park performer, Chris Kirkpatrick, who led to his joining the group *NSYNC. Before long, *NSYNC was the hottest act in Europe and the U.S.

In 1998, *NSYNC released their self-titled debut album. The album went on to sell over 10 million copies, and they won an American Music Award for favorite new artist (pop/rock). Next, they released a seasonal album called "Home for Christmas," which also went multi-platinum. In 1999, the band signed a new record deal with Jive records. Their album "No Strings Attached" sold 1 million copies in its first day of sales and 2.4 million for the first week (a record that still stands today).



Fatone and his wife, Kelly, currently reside in Orlando with their daughter, Brianna. He remains actively involved with his charity, The Family Fatone Foundation, and works on different movie and television projects.
