Who Almost Starred In Friends? | CASTING CALLS

They're one of the most famous casts in television history - they'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour - but they weren't there in the beginning. So who else almost starred in #Friends?
#CastingCalls looks at the most famous roles of all-time and reveals the stories behind how they were cast, which other actors were considered, and how your favorite stars landed the part.

Bruh I can’t imagine anyone else as them

[@milliemousexo605]

Same

[@mathiaslopez5862]

Maybe jim carrey as ross lol

[@oliasi8043]

Me too

[@jussikankinen9409]

U can imagine

[@celticqueen9762]

I came here just to say that. They got the perfect actors for each role in my humble opinion. 😊

[@Josh-ph4te]

wait ellen was a candidate for phoebe?

[@janietrain]

I read THE candidate and she turned it down because her people were working through a development deal at ABC with David Rosenthal who she worked with on another short lived show. She basically got to be the star of her own "Friends" and that's how she got her show.

DUHHH

[@fk_923]

I’m so happy it wasn’t her

[@notwerkinginthishouse8634]

No one can change any of them,especially Phoebe,Ross,Joey & Chandler

[@pranksterboy8371]

And Rachel and Monica, hey that’s all of them.

[@smben2589]

We just like frnds. No matter how old it gets. I will show this to my kids.

[@chloehoyle]

Just imagine if none of them got the roles and different actors were playing them 😬

[@TheStepmonkey]

The show would't have lasted...

[@chilli8011]

The universe knows... and the right people got the parts. I can't imagine anyone else playing them. But yeah, We will never know how those other actors may have been... So. it's pointless.

[@Mark-lj1dj]

2:06 I think Craig Bierko passed because he was offered the American pilot of Red Dwarf, touted as a big up and coming success but flopped massively. I bet he regrets that decision every single day

[@Youtuber-ki2gb]

Could u imagine Vince Vaughn as Joey and favreau as chandler

[@patrickmacdonald5539]

The only one I can imagine differently in that cast is Jane Krakowski, but as Phoebe not Rachel!

[@julieking1435]

Thank God they past on Kathy Griffen and Ellen! Jamie Gertz would have been great as Monica ! Tea would have pulled off Rachel too!

[@MaryJane-gf6cg]

It wudnt become a part of history without that cast

[@jroig824]

They chose the most good looking and it worked

[@hcbros105]

[@hcbros105]
