But even so, on Friends she wasn't as annoying as Monica or Rachel.
About "stretch," I don't think there is any such thing as acting any more. All I see is casting. Then the actors play themselves.

Hey, I TOLD you I had a reply to you on this, but nooooo, you just couldn't wait. You go watch every film done by Alfred Molina, Gene Hackman, Jodie Foster, Johnny Depp, Julianne Moore, George Clooney, Phillip Seymor Hoffman, John C. Reilly, Jeremy Davies, and even Big Bobby DeNiro to name just a few and come back and tell me there's no such thing as acting anymore. You do realize that casting directors only bring a group of actors that fit into the general categories described by the director and producers. Directors make the final choice, unless the producers have something else written into the contract. And of course the actor can be offered the role but doesn't necessarily take it, ie, Tea Leoni was offered the Phoebe role (I think, or maybe it was Monica--who cares?) and turned it down.
However, I do agree there is no such thing as acting on network TV. There's some great acting on cable shows, especially HBO.
Mathman, Mathman, Mathman. Sigh. You hate "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II," but you seem to know an awful lot about "Friends."
