Little-Known Details About the Hit Show Friends

Tom Selleck Was Nervous About Acting on the Show

Being a five-time Emmy Award nominee didn't make accomplished actor Tom Selleck exempt from feeling nervous about filming for Friends . He admitted he was "scared to death" in his role as Monica's love interest, Dr. Richard Burke. Selleck explained, "I had done Taxi a long time before, but I hadn't done a sitcom. So, I was really nervous. Courteney helped a lot. That group is incredible. They obviously became friends in life as well as on the show. And it shows. It was a wonderful place to work." "I wasn't amazing at what they call the table read," he revealed in an interview. Despite his nerves, Selleck's admirable performance on the show proved otherwise.
