Joey Lawrence, My Fake Fiance, Dancing with the Stars actor: Mr. Media Audio Interview

Joey Lawrence introduces Mr. Media to his ‘Fake Fiance’

Melissa Joan Hart, who starred in “Holiday in Handcuffs,” ABC Family’s highest rated telecast ever, and Joey Lawrence (“Dancing with the Stars”) star in “My Fake Fiance,” a romantic comedy about two people who decide to get married for the money and gifts. It can be seen on ABC Family.

In “My Fake Fiancé,” oil and water get along better than Jennifer (Melissa Joan Hart) and Vince (Joey Lawrence), who are seated together at a wedding and have an immediate and passionate dislike for one another. Jennifer is a smart, sarcastic go-getter, with a penchant for burning through boyfriends, while Vince is a fringe-dwelling ladies man and bad gambler who gets by more on charm and wits then on any discernible skill set. The one thing they have in common, however, is shock and awe at the haul of presents and cash the bride and groom rake in as wedding gifts. It will bring them together within a week when both have a dire need - Vince for cash to pay off a loan shark, Monkey (Steve Schirripa), and Jennifer for stuff to fill her new home after her moving van is stolen.

Joey Lawrence recently wrapped the dark comedy feature Hit List. The role is a departure for Lawrence, who stars as a man that, out of love, begins killing the people his girlfriend wishes dead in her journal.

Lawrence was a regular on the NBC drama “American Dreams,” Disney’s “Brotherly Love,” and “Half & Half” on UPN. Last year he appeared as Clay Dobson in a story arc on “CSI: NY.” He danced his way into the finals on the third season of “Dancing with the Stars.”
