Matthew Perry moves on with 'Go On'

By Deanna Barnert

It can be hard to move on when everyone still thinks of you as Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Phoebe and Joey. Eight years after the finale, however, our favorite "Friends" actors have found their footing, assuming Matthew Perry's "Go On" does as well as MSN TV anticipates, that is. Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer have found success by staying away from TV, while Matt LeBlanc, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow have landed critical hits with cult followings. "Episodes," "Cougar Town" and "Web Therapy" don't come near the ratings that "Friends" saw, but, hey, there are worse fates. Just ask "Seinfeld" alumni Jason Alexander and Michael Richards.

In catching up with our old "friends," MSN TV got nostalgic for the Central Perk days and pulled together a massive roundup that features our favorite side characters, as well. We were surprised by some of the names. Can you remember what parts Hugh Laurie or Ellen Pompeo played? If not, just read on.
