Friends bosses have decided to add a little diversity to their cast - by bringing in a love interest from an ethnic minority. The hit American TV show has long been criticized for the fact its cast lacks diversity - despite being set in the New York, one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities, all six lead stars are white. Now the sitcom's bosses are set to include a new paleontologist character for several episodes - and she'll be a potential love interest for David Schwimmer's character Ross and Matt LeBlanc's Joey. The show's bosses are making it clear that they want an ethnic minority actress for the role and are currently looking at "all races and ethnicities" say casting sources, particularly African American, Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern and/or American Indian women.
Is it just me or I've seen it on Friends before? It looks like a mix-up of Julie and the Af-Am girl from the 7th season.
