Adam Goldberg Says Diversity Deficit In ‘Friends’ Was “Insane” After His Memorable Role As Chandler’s Rebound Roommate Eddie


Adam Goldberg appeared as Chandler's rebound roommate Eddie in 'Friends' in 1996. He nearly turned down the role alongside Matthew Perry.

Adam Goldberg has revealed that he is proud to be a part of Friends ‘ enduring legacy, but thinks the show’s lack of diversity is “insane” by modern standards. The actor, who went on to appear in Fargo and Saving Private Ryan, was asked by The Independent about the NBC comedy’s lack of representation of people of color. David Schwimmer said he campaigned for Ross to date a woman of color, while Lisa Kudrow said a modern version of the show would have a “more diverse” cast.
