Actress Lisa Kudrow, who played the role of Phoebe Buffay, found the iconic American television sitcom ‘Friends’ to be "a lot of work" because her character was so different to who she is in real life.

The sitcom ran from 1994 to 2004, however the role didn't come easy to her because she and her character were such different people. She said she was determined to be a "good student".

Speaking to actress Parker Posey at the Variety's Actors on Actors series, Lisa said: "It became fun. It was fun the whole time because the cast had fun.”
