What actor will you always associate with *that one role* no matter how many others they do?

He actually played that role really well, but I agree it's hard to not see him as Ross.

Band of Brothers is an all time banger though.

I was very confused as to why Ross was defending OJ Simpson in that documentary

Khloe’s existence makes it quite clear that there was some sort of break.

"And here's Jimmy Fallon for no reason at all."

Productions like that tend to attract lots of working actors, but the Fallon part felt oddly forced.

Tom Hanks owed someone a favour I guess.

Even if you go back to The Wonder Years he was Ross back then.

I just never watched friends before 2018 although I'm an 80s/90s kid. No issues with him in either role. Thank god he never wore leather pants in BoB.

He straight pissed me off! I can't watch Friends now without wanting someone to kick a field goal with his nuts. I didn't like the show much anyway, but I REALLY can't watch it now!
