Actress DREA DE MATTEO reportedly blames her role in cancelled U.S. sitcom JOEY for ruining her career.
The former The Sopranos star signed up to play Matt Le Blanc's sister on the NBC show, after he continued his famed Friends character for the spin-off following the conclusion of the original hit series in 2004.
But the programme failed to win over Friends fans, and was scrapped by the U.S. network in 2006 after only two series.
And, according to New York gossip column Page Six, De Matteo regrets accepting a part in the doomed series - admitting she has been out of work since the show ended.
A source tells the publication, "She was saying Joey completely ruined her career. She called it horrible and said she hasn't been able to really work since then.
"She said she's really been out of the business and is trying to get back in."
