Despite NBCsitcomFriends being an ensemble cast, Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe Buffay, says there was no "vision" for her and “nobody cared about me," especially during the series' early days.
“There were certain parts of [my talent agency] that just referred to me as ‘the sixth Friend,'" she shared in an interview with The Independent. She added that “there was no vision for me, and no expectations about the kind of career I could have. There was just, like, ‘boy, is she lucky she got on that show’.”
Phoebe was originally written as Monica Geller's (Courteney Cox) "ditzy" roommate before Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) moved in. Kudrow recently said the notion of "everybody" calling Phoebe "ditzy" was off base. “At the time, it was like, 'She’s such a ditz. How is it that you only play ditzes?' And I thought, Is she a ditz? To me, she wasn’t,” Kudrow told Interview Magazine.
“In 1994, it was like, ‘I love her. She’s such a ditz.’ And it’s like, yeah, okay, that was what a ditz was to us. Someone who wasn’t toeing the line," she asserted.

Over the course of 10 years, a little bit of her came into me. I lightened up a little more and read some books on spirituality and things, just to try to understand her."
Throughout the series' run, Kudrow shaped and added depth to Phoebe, which ultimately helped her win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 1998. She views Friends as a sort of launchpad for the myriad of other characters that she played after the series.
"Because I was on Friends, I got to create my own shows that didn't have to be as big as Friends, so I could do something like The Comeback or Web Therapy, and that was really fulfilling,” she told Today in 2024.
