20 Years Later: Which Friends Cast Members Came Out on Top?

1 minute read

Monday marks the 20-year anniversary of Friends — and just as we judge our old friends on Facebook to see how they’ve fared, we’ve done the same for the show’s cast. Here how the cast members ranked after the show ended:

Friends
1. Jennifer Aniston (Rachel Green) Let’s put it this way: Jennifer Aniston is the only Friends star who would unquestionably be able to headline a movie or book a magazine cover today. She’s starred in recent high grossing films including Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers, and nabbed Men’s Health’s 2013 Sexiest Woman of all Time. Getty Images (2)
Friends
2. Courtney Cox (Monica Geller) Since Friends, Cox made a successful return to the small screen in the ABC’s (now TBS) show Cougar Town. She also starred in the cult favorite Scream series.Getty Images (2)
Friends
3. Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay) Always a fan favorite, Kudrow has landed movie roles and various guest appearances on Scandal and Parks and Recreation. Her most notable work is her web-turned-Showtime series Web Therapy and HBO’s recently renewed The Comeback.Getty Images (2)
Friends
4. Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) The men of Friends have proven less successful. LeBlanc starred in a widely panned Friends spinoff called Joey. After a lull, he recently made a comeback and won a Golden Globe for his work on Showtime’s Episodes.Getty Images (2)

5. Matthew Perry (Chandler Bing) Perry’s biggest role since Friends was on the short-lived series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and, later, Mr. Sunshine.Getty Images (2)
Friends
6. David Schwimmer (Ross Geller) Poor Ross. Schwimmer slowly faded from the public eye since Friends ended. His biggest role was as the voice of Melman the giraffe in the Madagascar movies. Getty Images (2)
