It was somehow inspiring for me to see these actors and actresses' long journeys before their big break. Melora Hardin even had to wait 11 years from friends to the office, and that's not counting the years she spent before. Imagine how many rejections from auditions they got. Really shows no matter what our career path, celebrity or not, it's always hard. Sure they got a good paycheck once they're up there, but the journey before isn't exactly a picnic. Some even got their big break at much older age. Reminds me of Joey, only more brutal for a lot more people (and easier for some of the others ig but that's beside the point)

I would argue that Jon Favreau and Anna Faris were already famous. Favreau had already made Swingers, which was a huge breakout role for him and Vince Vaughn. Faris had been in the Scary Movie franchise which was very successful. Even Leah Remini was on Saved By the Bell, though that was not the big exposure she would get from King of Queens.

Actually I think that there was another actress who was in friends, the one who did as Ross' girlfriend in the final season that dumps him afterwards.
I think that she acted in CSI and after in Criminal Minds as Tara Lewis

I would say my favorite is the one that's missing: Hugh Laurie aka Dr House (The One With Ross's Wedding) as a guy on the plane talking to Rachel, being on her way to London to tell Ross she's still in love with him.

Also flight sttendant on Rachel's flight to Paris was Paula Newsome. Mrs. Vance on NCIS and Maxine on CSI: Vegas. Friends was not her first role on tv. I think I remember her from er and Dharma and Greg.

Thought Cole Sprouse (Big Daddy, Anna Faris (Scary Movie, and Rebecca Romijn (Model) were big names already before Friends. Or maybe it's just me who's one of the few who knew them beforehand.

This topic could be applied to Roseanne, as well. You've got George Clooney, Dan Florek and my personal favorite, Jesco White.

Feel awful for Mike and his whole family especially his mother.
Also his mother is an absolute amazing and tough human being.
