Lisa Kudrow has done some work in a few dramas. I think she starred with Val Kilmer in a movie about the porn industry or something a long those lines.

Any plans to start doing TMB: Uncut shows again?

I think that you don’t give enough credit to the T.V. to Movie for ACTORS in Hollywood. You wrote this (about the odd “exceptions” to the rule)

Yes, there are the odd success stories like Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Johnny Depp and even Rhona Mitra seems to be on her way (she’s not there quite yet), but for the most part these represent mere drops in an ocean of small screen to big screen flops and failures.

I mean, I would have to say that the names you did put down are some of the TOP STARS in Hollywood. But did you forget that The Majority of Comedians who start out on T.V. and then try to make a shift into Movies actually succeed… and not just mild success either, huge success. Look at the STAR BUILDING POWER of a little known show called, “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE”. I’ll just list some of those actors: Steve Martin, Dan Akaroid, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, Will Farrell, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, etc… THIS LIST IS UNENDING… Also you have, Will Smith from “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” (and don’t say that he doesn’t count because he was a rapper first) He DEF. Counts… Also, Jim Carrey, Aschton Kutcher, Ricky Gervais (not Hollywood, but still T.V.),

I honestly think that it is incorrect to write that the majority of T.V. to Film stars flop…. I just don’t think that’s right. I’d say it’s more that most who try succeed to at least Minimal Extent and a lot to MASSIVE SUCCESS. The ones who don’t try don’t succeed…

I also have to dissagree with your Jennifer Anniston theory. She is one of the most beloved women in Hollywood right now. Just because it would seem that you aren’t a fan doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a huge fan base. She does. She just isn’t in a lot of good films is all. She needs a better manager.

So, in closing I think that the Cast of “Friends” only work in the context of that show… it was a fluke. (with two decent actresses who also happen to be smokin’ hot. “which in Hollywood and everywhere else helps out a whole lot”)… I’d say that the exceptions to the rule are actaually the cast of this T.V. show.

Will Smith was the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for years on television while his blockbusters rolled into theaters. Michael J Fox was still filming Familty Ties while working on the Back to the Future sequels. There are just too many examples where it wasn’t a problem at all.
