Familiar 'Friends' star first auditioned to play Monica but thinks she lost the role for being 'bigger size than the rest'
Could you imagine heading up to apartment 20 at 485 Grove St., or maybe popping by at Central Perk, and seeing someone other than Courteney Cox in the role of Monica Geller? Hello, are you there? Quick, huff on these smelling salts. We're sorry to have sent you into a catatonic state. But the truth is that the cast of Friends did not just happen. It came about through a lengthy process that included some trial and error. And as actress Jessica Hecht, who later played Susan on the NBC sitcom, recently revealed to the good people at Parade, she was nearly cast in the primary role. Though Hecht added that she now thinks she was "a total backup," she then explained that she and the casting director, Ellie Kanner, were chums since high school, having grown up in a small town in Connecticut. When Hecht's agent heard they were still reading people for the parts, she suggested that Hecht head over. "I went in, mostly excited to see Ellie Kanner, and then they started to read me for Monica," she recalled. Obviously, she didn't land the part, and as Hecht told it, "I think looking at me back then, I'm tall and I just had a bigger size than the rest. Now I look at it, and I think how perfect Courteney was, I would have been more of a Lisa [Kudrow], just physically and energetically." As is frequently the case, performers who do well in auditions often make their way into a series in supporting roles. Hecht made 13 appearances as Susan Bunch, the new partner of Ross' (David Schwimmer) ex-wife Carol. But Hecht had some criticism for the way the character developed. "They just wanted a lesbian that didn't look exactly like lesbians had previously, let's be honest," she said. "Use your imagination!' she joked. "They're wonderful. They come in all sizes.' In another recent interview, Hecht admitted some relief that her character never grew into one of the lead roles. "The responsibility of that is more than most people could manage," she said. "That show affecting so many people's lives," she added, "and the actors on that show affecting so many people's lives ... I watch it with awe, and I understand the need for that." Post-Friends, Hecht has worked in films directed by Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, and David Gordon Green, and had key roles on shows like Breaking Bad and Red Oaks. She's also been nominated for three Tony Awards, including one just this year for her turn in the vaccination drama Eureka Day. For 30 years, she has been married to Adam Bernstein, a director of film, television, and several legendary music videos like the iconic "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, one of the 20th century's most lasting works of art.

Bryan Cranston reveals gross ‘SNL' sketch idea that was ‘immediately shut down'
It's all about the sauce. Bryan Cranston reflected on his 2010 'Saturday Night Live' hosting gig during a recent appearance on David Spade and Dana Carvey's 'Fly on the Wall' podcast. 'I just wanted to do anything. I had a couple pitches for them,' Cranston, 69, told the two alums of the sketch comedy series. 'I pitched ideas which were almost immediately shut down. I had a great pitch.' 6 Bryan Cranston speaks at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival on June 10. Getty Images for Tribeca Festival Cranston explained, So: myself and a date and another couple. We can't believe we got reservations for this restaurant. It's supposed to be amazing. It's called In the Sauce, and it's like, wow. And this very snooty waiter comes in and says, 'Are you ready?' Can we see a menu? 'No. We don't give menus. We serve you food. You eat the food. You leave.' You know? It's like, oh, okay. Yes. Yes. Yes.' 6 Bryan Cranston hosting 'Saturday Night Live' in 2010. NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'And they say, it's all about the sauce,'' the 'Breaking Bad' star continued. 'So he puts down a crudité, and we dip it in the sauce, and it's, like, oh my god. Just amazing. Crudité is taken away. Here comes the entree. You're eating the entree. We're eating. Oh my god, this sauce is absolutely insane. We're overeating. We eat too much. We throw up.' 6 Bryan Cranston and Fred Armisen on 'Saturday Night Live.' NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'We dip the barf in the sauce. Oh my god. It's all about the sauce,' he added. 'It's like no matter what you're eating, as long as the sauce is good. It's like, you have a severed finger and you dip it in the sauce and it's still good.' Spade, 60, and Carvey, 70, both got a kick out of Cranston's sketch idea, unlike those that were on the show at the time. 6 Bryan Cranston attends the 2025 Tony Awards on June 8.

Andy Kropa/Invision/AP 'You're waiting behind the door and I'm standing there going, 'Oh my God, I'm about to host 'Saturday Night Live,'' the Emmy Award winner recalled. 'And i just took a couple deep breaths, and then I heard Don Pardo's voice going, 'And host Bryan Cranston!'' he added. 'That freaked me out and the door opens and out we go. Like shot out of a canon.'

Woman Buys a Kids' Pool and Leaves It in Her Garden—Then the Bears Appear
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A viral video about a woman setting up a children's pool for a visiting bear and her cub has captivated viewers on TikTok, sparking a conversation about the risks of attracting wild animals to residential areas. The video, posted by TikTok user @morenavotre, shows what appears to be a mother bear and her cub exploring a small pool filled with water in the woman's backyard. Text overlaid on the clip reads: "I bought mama bear and her cub a kids pool." The footage has amassed more than 183,000 views since it was posted on May 17. In the clip, the bears can be seen curiously poking around the pool before later gathering near a tree in the yard. The video is one of several on the poster's TikTok account that document bears regularly visiting the property. While many viewers found the scene endearing, such interactions can have unintended consequences. Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant, a wildlife ecologist and co-host of NBC's Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom Protecting the Wild series, told Newsweek: "While many people assume food is the only thing that attracts bears, nonfood items like pools can also spark their curiosity. "Research shows that due to climate change and the natural behavior of bears, these animals will look for any opportunity to cool down, and pools are no exception." The woman who posted the video acknowledged in the comments that there are potential risks. Her response was to @jakefromstatefarm2154 who wrote: "Isn't this actually bad for the bear … conditioning it to come this close to people … feel like this could get the bear in trouble and teach the next generation a bad habit." The original poster replied: "You definitely have a point. It's always a possibility but I'm praying that all goes well. My street is private with only 4 houses and all the neighbors are aware of the bear presence and we just tried to be cautious about it." Research supports the concerns raised by wildlife experts and viewers on TikTok. A November 2022 study published in PLOS One noted: "Coexistence with carnivores in the expanding urban-wildlife interface requires human mitigation to reduce wildlife visitation rates and mortality risks associated with human-dominated areas." The study observed that "Black bears (Ursus americanus) often occupy urban-wildland interfaces in North America and have been found to change their natural behaviors as a result of human disturbance (including human presence and development) … in the urban-wildland interface, omnivorous bears may select for anthropogenic over wild food sources, preying on livestock and consuming garbage, compost, bird feed, and fruit." Wynn-Grant said there are long-term dangers of habituating bears to human spaces. "Bears are very smart and have excellent memories. Instead of searching for new places to find relief or food, they often return to familiar locations where they've previously found what they need. This is why it's so important not to habituate bears to human-provided resources," she said. "While it might seem exciting to see a familiar animal pass through your neighborhood, it's not safe for the animal or the people living nearby." The PLOS One study also highlighted seasonal factors influencing bear behavior: "The high caloric value and availability of anthropogenic food is especially attractive in the summer and autumn when bears need to store energy for hibernation, and can result in seasonal increases in human-bear conflicts." 'Dangerous Encounters' Wynn-Grant added that the consequences of regular human interaction can be severe. She said: "When bears spend too much time in human spaces, it makes them more likely to lose their natural fear of people and increases the risk of dangerous encounters. Even if suburban America doesn't feel like bear country, it's important to stay bear-aware and remove anything that might attract a bear's interest." Commenters on TikTok were divided. Some echoed Wynn-Grant's concerns, including a user named Tree68 who wrote: "Please be careful. Your heart is the right place, but these are wild animals." Others were more enthusiastic, with user2946459897670 commenting: "This is so unbelievably cool!!" User @ posted: "It's such a privilege when wild animals find sanctuary on your property. This is just amazing!" Wynn-Grant urged caution for anyone encountering bears in their neighborhood, noting "wild animals are just that—wild." "Being 'bearwise' means remembering that the outdoors is their home, and we need to be mindful guests. Never feed or approach bears, secure all garbage, clean and store grills and fire pits properly, store any toys when not in use and make sure young children and pets are supervised when outside. Remember, the best way to view wild animals is in the wild and from a safe distance," Wynn-Grant said. Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok.
