10 Times TV Actors Thought They Would Be Fired For Sure

10. Paget Brewster - Friends

Paget Brewster memorably appeared in six episodes of Friends' fourth season as a love interest of both Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Joey (Matt LeBlanc).

However, in a recent interview with ComingSoon.net, Brewster admitted that she expected to be canned from the role before she'd even shot a single scene, due to a hair-related miscommunication while getting ready to film her part.

During rehearsals, Brewster went to have her hair styled by the show's hairdresser, who took her black, short bob with bangs, cut it short and then dyed it red.

According to Brewster, producer Kevin Bright was incensed by this, shouting that he hired Brewster for her black hair, at which point Brewster went to her dressing room and packed up her belongings, believing she would be fired over somebody else's misunderstanding.

Bright then went up to her dressing room and assured Brewster both that he didn't hire her simply for her black hair and that she wasn't fired. After Brewster confirmed she herself was happy with the red hairdo, it was retained as a defining part of the character's look.

Speaking of the incident now, Brewster called it "a bad few minutes when I thought I was going to get fired from Friends."
