12 Movies Friends Stars Want You To Forget
10. Lost In Space
The One With the Spaceship.
Of all the male Friends, none seemed like such a no-brainer for a switch to the movies like hunky Matt LeBlanc, with his good looks and fantastic comic timing. One of LeBlanc's most high-profile projects was the 1994 reboot of sci-fi TV series Lost in Space.
LeBlanc played spaceman Don West, love interest for eldest Robinson daughter Judy (Heather Graham). With its top-notch special effects and high-profile cast (William Hurt! Gary Oldman as the film's villain!) Lost in Space should have marked LeBlanc's transition from TV to movies.
Alas, the thing is more widely known as a massive dud, thanks to its boring story and unmemorable characters. LeBlanc certainly doesn't come out unscathed either - impossible to take seriously as the stoic, uncharismatic West. Not the best use of LeBlanc's charm or comedy chops.
While LeBlanc doesn't exactly embarrass himself here, Lost in Space (28% on Rotten Tomatoes) in no way launched the film career the former Friend must have been hoping for. Widely regarded as one of the worse TV-to-movie adaptations, this dud proved a disappointing start for the most promising Friend.
