* The entire cast of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' were given countless movie roles the second that show became a sensation. The results have been mixed -- Courteney Cox and Matthew Perry have gone back to TV (the former had a flop with ''Dirt'', and while ''CougarTown'' was initially a hit, declining ratings led to it being put on hiatus in the middle of S2, held for mid-season in S3, and pushed from ABC to TBS for S4; the latter is 0 for 2 with ''Studio60OnTheSunsetStrip'' and ''Mr. Sunshine'' though he seems to have found success with ''Series/TheGoodWife'' and got another comedy shot with ''Go On''). Matt [=LeBlanc=] made a series of hellacious bombs (he did ''Ed'', a movie with a baseball-playing chimp, and ''Series/LostInSpace''... and then there was ''Series/{{Joey}}'') and currently starring in the low-rated but critically successful {{Showtime}} comedy series ''Series/{{Episodes}}'' (playing himself, no less), David Schwimmer started directing, and Lisa Kudrow went for indie cred. They're serviceable careers for the most part, but nothing huge. Creator/JenniferAniston has fared the best so far -- while she didn't headline a $100 million hit until 2011's ''Film/HorribleBosses'' (which arguably was helped out by the other heavyweights like Jason Bateman and Kevin Spacey in the film -- she's never had a starring role do that well, and is mostly known for Romantic Comedies), she was fortunate enough not to have a major flop during the time in between, and at the very least she's ''treated'' like a major star by most of Hollywood.
