Okay, we're 6-7 years down the road from the end of Friends...who do you think's had the best career of the core 6?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Feb 10 '11, 09:48

i think you could make a case for 3 of them (Perry, Cox and Aniston but I don't know of any of them who'd unquestionably be 'stars')

Responses:

find out who did the best at investing their residuals -- nm - ceregon Feb 10, 10:00 2
- i guarantee they are still getting giant cheques. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 10:02 1
  - i can't speak for the actors, but i know for the show's creators this is true - cupixie Feb 10, 10:05
I will say Perry has received the most serious critical acclaim for his work after Friends - crash davis Feb 10, 10:00
Aniston is clearly a star. A very bankable Hollywood star. Not all home runs, but enough to put her at the higher end of bankable actresses. Cox is - pmb Feb 10, 09:58 2
- Agreed, but I think Lisa makes some great choices--I think she has the most career satisfaction, maybe. -- nm - Amy Feb 10, 10:01
- I concur with this. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 09:58
They rate alphabetically by their last names. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 10, 09:56 6
- You put kudrow before perry? - Spawn Feb 10, 09:57 5
  - I think Kudrow, LeBlanc, and Perry are a tie for third place. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 10, 09:59 3
    - Kudrow barley works! -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 10:10 2
      - it's more of a; she wheats when she wants to -- nm - Epiphany Feb 10, 10:13 1
        
        But that does not equate to "best career". -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 10:14
  - and LeBlanc too -- nm - crash davis Feb 10, 09:58
Kramer -- nm - peglegpete Feb 10, 09:56
a 6 way tie of inadequacy -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 09:54 4
- my actual rank: anistan, cox, perry, leblanc, kudrow, ross -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 09:56 3
  - I love how you couldn't remember Schwimmer's real name. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:57 2
    - funny enough, he is in the best thing ever shown on TV. Great roll too (Band of Brothers) -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 09:59 1
      - the look he gives Winters when they meet in Europe is priceless. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 10, 10:04
Perry got to play old Zac Efron, so obviously him. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 10, 09:52 3
- Go sit in a corner. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:53 2
  - she will, thinking to herself "Mrs. Zac Efron" the whole time.... -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 09:55
  - heh heh. (I am so amused.) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 10, 09:54
LeBlanc: 2 shows. Cox: 2 shows. Perry: 2 shows. Aniston: 9 or so movies. - Spawn Feb 10, 09:51 11
- Kudrow has been in about 20 movies, so that's not much of a yardstick. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:53 8
  - One is a star while the other is a supporting player. - David Feb 10, 09:54 6
    - my point was, numbers don't necessarily matter. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:55 5
      - They do in that Kudrow was just in the movie Easy A. It didn't succeed because of her. - David Feb 10, 09:57 3
        
        When was her movie with the shrink and Deniro? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:58 2
        
        Analyze This was 99 and Analyze that was 2002. I think Friends ended in 2004. -- nm - David Feb 10, 10:02
        
        This or That? -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 10:01
      - And this poll is our opinions, so it matters more? -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:56
  - And many of them have made "appearances" on tv shows. -- nm - Spawn Feb 10, 09:54
- Aniston's movies include Along Came Polley, Rumor Has it, The Break Up, The Bounty Hunter, He's Just Not That Into You and Marley & Me. - David Feb 10, 09:52
- by that criteria, yes. but, i still think Cox has a better career. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 09:52
career, I'd say Cox. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 09:51 3
- was scream during or after friends? (relatedly, I am so all over scream 4) -- nm - amanda jones Feb 10, 09:52 2
  - During, it's how she met Arquette. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:53
  - During, i think. (and after?) -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 09:53
i'd say not Aniston...she's just so damaged in her personal life that it's overshadowed whatever level of success she's otherwise achieved. - prayformojo Feb 10, 09:50 8
- The last Scream film was 2000 when Friends was still on the air. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:53 1
  - I'm wrong about just about everything today.... -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 10:12
- i really don't think Aniston is damaged. The press would like us to think so. But i don't think she is. -- nm - Andie Feb 10, 09:53 2
  - you're right, of course... -- nm - prayformojo Feb 10, 09:56
  - I agree. -- nm - pmb Feb 10, 09:54
- Wait for it. -- nm - Cox Feb 10, 09:52
- Aniston has had the most projects, but they've been pretty sucky movies. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 09:51 1
  - "sucky" because you didn't like them doesn't mean that they didn't make boffo box office. your opinion is almost irrelevant to the question. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 10, 09:54
Aniston by far. -- nm - David Feb 10, 09:50
Aniston has had more coverage in the gossip rags. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 10, 09:49
Gunther. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Feb 10, 09:49
aniston, would be from movie revenue. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 09:49 2
- This would be a more interesting question if we excluded her from it. - con_carne Feb 10, 09:51 1
  - aniston then cox then ...... most of the rest then schwimmer. -- nm - amanda jones Feb 10, 09:55
