How Friends Almost Looked Very Different. Can you imagine Joey Tribbiani played by Vince Vaughn or Hank Azaria? Or Chandler Bing played by Craig Bierko or Jon Favreau? And is it true that Ellen DeGeneres turned down the role of Phoebe Buffay? Let’s talk about a parallel universe where all of our favorite characters, all Friends cast could have looked completely different... And as always - ladies first! RACHEL GREEN Believe it or not but the producers of Friends never had Jennifer Aniston in mind for Rachel Green. It was American actress, Tea Leoni who they really wanted. But, as crazy as it sounds, Leoni turned the role down to do another show called “The Naked Truth”. According to Tea that show had much more potential than Friends... Right. If you’re interested in how things turned out for this show we have pretty sad news for you: “The Naked Truth” was canceled after the first 3 seasons. Sometimes an actor's job is like gambling. You never know if your bid is gonna be the lucky one, or if you’re about to lose one of the greatest opportunities of your life. But don’t feel sorry for Tea Leoni! She has a pretty impressive acting career and has worked on movies like “Fun with Dick and Jane”, “Jurassic Park 3” and “Bad Boys”.
