Schwimmer was really good, and far from Ross Geller in Duane Hopwood. If you haven't seen it, rent it, or check it out on the IFC channel (they've been playing it a lot recently).

I can understand people saying he is the most talented, as that's someone's opinion and they are entitled to it. But to say he is the most successful? Come on! Get real, Anistons film's have grossed over $900 mil. (and counting). She has had an abundance of film offers in the 5 years post-Friends, and is currently filming 33 new movies. She has had 3 films gross over 100 milli5b4on.
So you can say what you want about peoples talent, but you can't dispute fact.

Well said. It's laughable to call him the most succussful post friends actor. The guy has done next to nothing on screen since the show ended. I've never been impressed with him as an actor, and based on his lack of work the last few years, I'm not the only only who feels that way. -

You guys miss the point.
Perry has had a good movie career as well and has had the funnier comedy movies and is still a good actor, still hasn't lost the weight since his addiction but maybe that will happen soon enough.
Anniston - Marrying brad pitt really did boost her career, and then staying in the limelight when he cheated on her helped her cause as well because women everywhere were like "keep on keeping on Jen!!"I have yet to see a movie with Anniston that was actually worth watching, when I say a movie with her, I mean as the star or main character of the movie. All of them have been typical and boring, nothing out of the ordinary.
Leblanc - probably the worst of them all, he wasn't all that great on friends and his career after it has been laughable at best.
b68
Cox-Arquette - Still doing good, her show Cougar Town is actually funny (dude that was apart of Scrubs, so clearly it was going to be good). She's not bad in her movies, kind of over the top at times and her face looks kind of different, plastic surgery maybe?
the rest have done fine as well but Schwimmer will likely have the better career overall and there's a reason why.- He CAN direct, anyone see run fatboy run? It was a funny movie and it was pretty good.
- He does act still and takes on lesser roles, character roles and I guess acting is secondary to him now.
- If his directing takes off even further, he'll last longer and be apart of bigger and better projects, his staying power will be better than the rest.

Check out "Marley & Me" if you haven't yet. I'm not much of a fan of hers but she was the best part of it. She wasn't the star but she was quite good in it. -

"Well saying that you have yet to see a movie of hers worth watching id suggest you check The Break-Up which is far from an ordinary movie and acted very well, if you dont like movies she makes (btw i dont consider myself as fan5b4 of any actor or actress) we cant help you".
Can you please point out exactly where I said the above or is it you that assumed too much? I've seen many of her movies including "The Breakup" and yeah, not so hot sorry.
ps - the reason there are quotes around my last post means I was quoting the OP. That is what quotes mean and are used for. -

Ross is whiny and childish, but i havent seen him in other stuff.I love Marley and me, oneof jen's best movies. I like 17 again, even though Matthew was barely in i5b4t.
I havent watched Madasgascar ethier. I have seen the series.

This thread is ridiculous. I'm not her biggest fan but Jennifer Aniston is obviously the most successful actress to come out of Friends, by far. I haven't seen any of Schwimmer's movies but I'm sure he's good in them since he was in Friends and seems intelligent, but Jennifer Aniston is the only one of the gang considered an A-list celebrity. She's probably made more money than all of the cast put together and she's a household name. Get realthere's no competition.

jennifer aniston is unquestionably the biggest out of all the actors post 'Friends', but schwimmer is the most talented. Don't get me wrong, I love all the actors, their all great, but schwimmer stood out on friends, he was great.
That said, some of you are forgetting that schwimmer was in the Madagascar movies, which have grossed over 1 billion dollars world-wide, that's pretty successful if you ask me. perhaps more than jennifers' films combined, and there is a third in the works, which is in no doubt going to succesful like the first two films. -

Aniston is by far the most successful of the bunch, but it might be some by choice as well. she seemed to want to stay in the spotlight.
As others have said, they made at least 35 million and probably more, the last couple seasons they all got 1 million per episode.
So unless they went completely insane, none of them will ever need to work again. -

I'm surprised no one mentioned Lisa KudrowI LOVED LOVED "The Comeback". So much better than "Friends". I would say she's the "best of the bunch", if we're talking about the subject line only.
Although no one can disagree about Aniston. She's the most financially successful. -

I think in terms of financial success it's hard to not make a case against Jennifer Aniston. She has the highest ne2000t worth and does the most projects in general. But in terms of talent I agree David Schwimmer is the best.

Matthew Perry is by far the funniest out of the six. Schwimmer is probably the best creative mind. Aniston is pure movie star, pure tabloid fodder, extremely successful. Courtney Cox has found the most success on TV post-Friends. LeBlanc has gotten awards buzz from being on Episodes. Lisa Kudrow has probably had the weakest career, but she's still doing lots of stuff, and I always thought she was the funniest girl on the show.
