The 1990s were a golden age in television, with fashion and comedy at their peak. In 1994, six relative unknowns became stars with the iconic show FRIENDS. Six twenty-somethings ‘struggled’ with love, life, and careers in New York City, as depicted in the shows. The show is still one of the most well-known sitcoms of all time. Now that the show is on Netflix, new generations are getting to know these six international characters.

After the “FRIENDS: The Reunion” special aired, people are still talking about the show. Aside from the show’s main characters, a slew of supporting characters contributed to the show’s success. Many supporting actors enjoyed their time on FRIENDS, but some did not.

So, here are five supporting characters who didn’t enjoy their time on FRIENDS, as well as five who did and still do:

Regret: Kathleen Turner – Charles Bing

Kathleen Turner was a well-known figure in Hollywood. That’s why fans were ecstatic when she was cast to play a trans woman who happens to be Chandler’s biological father. The cast, on the other hand, was apathetic. Kathleen stated in an interview that the form did not make her feel welcome and that none of them treated her with respect.

Loved: Paul Rudd – Mike Hannigan

Paul Rudd is widely considered to be one of Hollywood’s most gifted actors. That could explain why he got along so well with the cast. Although he joined the group at the show’s end, fans will recognize him as the group’s seventh friend. On the other hand, Paul had a great time with FRIENDS. When strangers ask, “How’s Phoebe?” on the street, Paul enjoys it.

Regret: Elle Macpherson – Janine Lacroix

Fans disliked Elle’s character because she messed with Joey’s mind and wasn’t very nice to Chandler or Monica. It was putting undue strain on her. She’d also like a second chance. In an interview, she stated that it would not have done it if she had known how long it would be broadcast on television or how significant it would be in the United States.

Loved: Christina Applegate – Amy Green

Amy Green, Rachel’s sister, was played by Christina Applegate. She and Matthew were childhood friends who also collaborated on a film. Except for Jennifer Aniston, she knew the rest of the group before starring in FRIENDS as a supporting character. However, while working together, she and Jennifer Aniston grew closer.

Regret: Ben Stiller – Tommy

Remember when Ben Stiller was the enraged guy who yelled at random people? Although that character only appeared in one episode of the show, it has been reported that he is notoriously difficult to work with. He was constantly whining and complaining. Tantrums were also a problem for her. He was also dissatisfied with his experience with FRIENDS.

Loved: Cole Sprouse – Ben Geller

Cole Sprouse, who played Ben, Ross’s son, was a child actor. He recalls his time on the show with fondness. Initially, it was intimidating for him, but he soon felt at ease thanks to the cast’s warm reception. His favorite episode is when Ross dresses up as Holiday Armadillo, he said.

Regret: Brooke Shields – Susan Keane

When Shields played a stalker pursuing Joey, it was uncomfortable, hilarious, and comedic gold, as his husband, Andre Agassi, felt. Andre was so envious of her performance, she revealed, that he destroyed his Wimbledon trophy and many other tennis prizes he had won. As a result, it is self-evident that her experience is not proud of.

Loved: Vincent Paul – Fun Bobby

Even after these years, Vincent Paul Gerard Ventresca doesn’t mind being called ‘Fun Bobby.’ He adores the fact that his fans still call him Fun Bobby. At the start of the show, he plays Monica’s boyfriend. And now that the show is available on Netflix, people recognize him.

Regret: Tate Donovan – Joshua Burgin

Jennifer Aniston lobbied hard for her then-fiancé, Tate Donovan, to play Joshua, her love interest-turned-boyfriend on FRIENDS. Unfortunately, he was cast as Rachel’s crush just as they broke up in real life. Due to his and Jennifer’s breakup, his time on the show was cut short, which made it more difficult for them to play the role. That was inconvenient and deplorable.

Loved: James Michael Tyler – Gunther

James Michael Tyler was cast in the role because of his previous experience as a barista. He was the only one who was familiar with the cafe’s equipment. According to James, the fact that he had that ability was a happy coincidence. We’ll never forget his time on FRIENDS, even though he’s no longer with us.
