"Friends" fans know Hank Azaria had a recurring role as David the Scientist Guy, but the actor originally read for Joey.
"That's the only job I ever auditioned for twice," Azaria told HuffPost Live in 2014. "I thought it was so good — they had rejected me once — I said, 'I'm going back, I'm gonna do it again, I'm gonna try it again.'"
Azaria went on to say that even after being rejected twice for the role, he initially thought he would have done a better job than Matt LeBlanc.
"At first, in my opinion, in the first few episodes of 'Friends' [LeBlanc] hadn't really found it," Azaria said. "And all that first season I was like, 'I could've been funnier than him!' And then to me, he got hilarious. He really grew into that, he really found himself in that role."
