Friends actress Jessica Hecht says she's 'grateful' she wasn't a lead on the hit sitcom

Jessica Hecht, who played Susan Bunch on 'Friends,' says she's grateful she didn't have to manage the 'responsibility' of portraying a lead character.

Jessica Hecht remains fond of her time as Susan Bunch on the beloved '90s series Friends, but she's also very "grateful" that her role never amounted to that of a lead character. Hecht, who appeared in more than a dozen episodes of Friends, made her mark on the sitcom as the wife of Carol Willick (Jane Sibbett), the first ex-wife of David Schwimmer's Ross.
