The one where David Schwimmer’s British wife fell flat: Friends director slams Helen Baxendale
- 7 months ago
A director of the legendary 90’s sitcom “Friends” didn’t hold back any punches after calling one of its cast members on the show “not funny,” the Daily Mail reported.
Director James Burrow had a lot to get off his chest when he admitted that UK actress Helen Baxendale, who played Emily Waltham in 14 episodes of the show, couldn’t gel with other cast members because she wasn’t as comedic.
“She was nice but not particularly funny,” Burrow said.
“In sitcoms and any type of romantic comedy, the funny is just as important as the chemistry,” he continued.
Baxendale joined the iconic sitcom, which first aired on Sept. 1994, during its fourth season.
She played an integral role on the show as the girlfriend and fiancée of David Schwimmer’s character, Ross.
