Simpson’s family star, who tested twice for the character of a major friends

If you say the name of Joy Trebiani today, everyone on the ground was born before 2000 and they have a TV immediately depicting Matt Lieblank with his harmful smile and black jet hair, and they utter some line of nonsense or ask a beautiful girl how It is doing. This is exactly what it should be. In the past, the comic play NBC Pouring the stadium was perfectAnd one of the reasons for “friends” turned into the phenomenon of pop culture, it was considered for several decades. But even in the 1990s, before the launch of the show, the new actors knew that the main roles in this series were golden opportunities to highlight and enhance their professional lives-even if they were not suspected of the huge global influence that the program will cause on the comic type and television broadcast itself.

Therefore, every ambitious young actor in Hollywood was heard about the comic play at the time trying to land in it. Among them, Hank Azzaria was an ambition, approaching his thirties, and he strongly wanted to secure an air role. The actor was already a great appearance under his belt in classics such as Gary Marshall Lover ROM com, “Beautiful Woman”, “ Robert Redford is the great drama nominated for the Academy Award, “The Competition’s Show”. He also appeared in an episode of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. It is recognized that his career was looking, but those jobs in his autobiography did not guarantee anything when it came to testing him to Joy.

It appears via a video call In “The Late Late Show” by James Kordon in 2021, the Simpson family recalled his experience in an attempt to reach “friends”.

“I tested Joy, did not get it, and I was like,” no, no, I have to go back, I must try again. So I retreated on my way back for the second time and they were kind and watching the test, then I went out.

In “The Late Late Show”, Azaria also added that his co -star Matthew Perry was a great friend of him, and that they all read the scenario and test them in the show. He said: “We did not know that it would be the huge phenomenon that turned to it, but we knew that it was wonderful, and we were all very desperate to be in it.” But everything was not lost to the actor. In the end, he managed to get a guest role in “Friends”, playing the role of his friend David (Lisa Kodero) in Bibi, who first appeared in the first season and later returned for four additional episodes in seasons 7 and 9.

It was not necessarily a huge or influential role, but Azzaria did not need to strive as a actor moving forward. He already had the popular “Simpsons” characters to express, and after 94, he was throwing more and more in larger and better films. I was in The legendary Michael Mann “Heat” Then Roland Emiric in 1998 “Godzilla”. In 2017, he even got his own television program, “Brookmire”, which is a sharp drama and a criminal subcontinent around baseball, addiction and second opportunities.

Everyone in all, it was better to refuse Azaria to play air and continued to get a brilliant and respectful profession anyway – whether on the big or small screen.
