In your opinion, which Friends star brought the least to the series, in terms of comedy and character?

I think it was Matt, as Joey. His spin-off failed, indicating to me that, while he was great at being a side character, he couldn't hold his own at center stage.

I'm gonna say Matt LeBlanc. IMO, he did not have the acting chops that the other males, David and Matthew had.

The MOST talented was Gunther.

I like the actor (Giovanni Ribisi) who played Pheobe's half-brother, Frank Jr. The character was a total moron, but I like the actor. He was great in the movie "Boiler Room."

The actress who played Janice was in an episode of Seinfeld. She was so different, so un-annoying and no nasal voice. She was just a regular, normal person.

Yeah, Maggie Wheeler. I remember her also, on the first season of Ellen, before the Cast Purge on that show. She played Anita, and was a perfectly normal character.

I always thought it would be funny to have Janice and Fran Fine meet, but of course they were on different networks.
