Joey Lauren Adams

Appearing 26, 27, 28

Joey Lauren Adams is an actress and director, best known for her roles in Chasing Amy (Alyssa Jones), Big Daddy (Layla), Dazed and Confused (Simone), Mallrats (Gwen), and Bio Dome (Monique).

Joey Lauren Adams began her film career in 1977 with a small part in Exorcist II: The Heretic. In 1991, she appeared in the 100th episode of Married... with Children entitled “Top of the Heap” and subsequently starred in its short lived spinoff. In 1993, Adams landed her first major film role as Simone in Richard Linklater’s Dazed and Confused. The same year, she appeared in the Saturday Night Live spinoff film Coneheads as one of Connie Conehead’s friends.

Two years later, Adams appeared in Mallrats, written and directed by Kevin Smith. The two started dating during the film’s post-production, and their relationship provided the inspiration for Smith’s next film, Chasing Amy. Meanwhile, in 1996, while Smith was finalizing the script for Chasing Amy, Adams was cast in the slapstick comedy Bio-Dome, which was directed by Jason Bloom. Adams played the role of Monique, Bud Macintosh’s (Pauly Shore) girlfriend.

In 1997’s Chasing Amy, Adams played the lead role of Alyssa Jones, a lesbian who falls in love with a man, played by Ben Affleck. Later, Smith would describe Chasing Amy as a “sort of penance/valentine” and a “thank-you homage” to Adams. In addition to her acting work on the film, Adams wrote and performed the song “Alive” for the film’s soundtrack.

Adams’ performance in Chasing Amy earned her both the 1997 Chicago Film Critics Award and Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award for Most Promising Actress, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress-Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. From there, Adams was originally slated to play the female lead in Smith’s next film, 1999’s Dogma, but Linda Fiorentino ultimately got the part. However, she would later make brief appearances in two other Smith projects: the 2001 film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and the 2004 animated short Clerks: The Lost Scene, featured on the Clerks X DVD. In both of these appearances, Adams reprised the role of Alyssa Jones.

Her post-Smith projects included playing a spunky veterinarian’s assistant who falls in love with a single father (Vince Vaughn) in 1998’s A Cool, Dry Place. The following year, Adams appeared in her first big-budget Hollywood release, playing Adam Sandler’s love interest in the successful comedy Big Daddy. She then went on to appear in many other films, including Beautiful and In the Shadows. In 2005, she had a guest role in an episode of the TV show Veronica Mars. Also in 2006, Adams released her directorial debut film, Come Early Morning, starring Ashley Judd, Jeffrey Donovan, Diane Ladd, Tim Blake Nelson and Laura Prepon. The film, shot on location in Little Rock, Arkansas, was selected for the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

Joey starred as Pammy in the 2010 TV series United States of Tara. In recent years Joey has been featured in numerous projects, including the TV series Switched at Birth (Jennice Papagus), Mr. Pickles, Sequia, Valley Inn, and She Loves Me Not.
