And thats the problem with most of the Friends cast now. Keep seeing their 10 year stint in Friends in everything they do.

Perry is pretty much the only one I think has done good things since Friends. Schwimmer has gone into directing and Aniston is pretty much terrible in everything.

Although, Matt LeBlanc has done nothing since Joey - which is probably a damn good thing. Always found it funny that he was playing a bad actor in Friends - especially after seeing him in Lost in Space.

Typecasting aside Matthew Perry can act. First ep of S60 I was all "Haha Chandler.. hehe Chandler"

Wears off though if you stick with it, especially as Chandler never abused painkillers etc.

Yeap. I kept seeing angry Ross (remember when he had to go to anger management after a work issue? I think he came into the coffee shop and flattened a muffin).

David Schwimmer was in a film called Breast Men in '97 and he was superb. Really, really good acting, great film - completely different to anything the others have done. Matthew Perry. Not so much, just see Chandler. Never thought Courtney Cox could act much, nor Joey. Phoebe was ok in that film about post-its with that tall blonde chick, but she basically played Phoebe.

I was quite surprised to be honest, but wow, I was impressed.

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion I loved that when it first came out but I was only about 16!

That really was an awful film. Can't blame him too much beyond that that was an absolutely awful career move. There was no material there for him to even demonstrate any acting ability with. The film was never going to be any good, and that's not what you want on your CV as your first main character in a major movie.

The girl I was dating when Friends finally finished was obsessed with it so as a random gift I bought her the final episode special DVD which included post show interviews and stuff. One of the questions asked of them all was which star had needed the cash the most when they first got cast. No prizes for guessing it was MlB

Ross/David Schwimmer was fantastic in Band of Brothers!!!

....and also played an excellent giraffe in Madagascar!

Although, I agree Rachel/Jennifer Aniston is not great, I really enjoyed watching Marley and Me and thought she was good in that!!!

That's because the Giraffe was Ross.

I seriously spent half the film waiting to hear him shout out "We were on a break!"
