'It's really hard to get those serious roles!'

Over the next few years, Jennifer appeared in 'Friends' as well as its spin-off 'Joey'.

Even though Jennifer "dreamed of being like Meryl Streep" at drama school, she became famous for comedy roles which meant that she was typecast by some filmmakers.

She said: "This is what happens. I got to play a serious, alcoholic drug addict in 'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' in 2009 but that's the last serious role I played. It's really hard to get those roles, because people don't see you that way. Either that or my agent is lying to me!"
