Friends Cast: Where Are They Now?
11. Maggie Wheeler (Janice)
Maggie Wheeler had limited appearances in the likes of Seinfeld and The X-Files, but it was Friends which really gave her her big break. Starring as Janice, Wheeler was one of the most iconic guest stars Friends ever had, beginning as Chandler’s love interest but evolving into so much more.
Particularly notable for her amazing (if somewhat annoying) voice and catch phrase, Janice became an integral part of the show, appearing in 17 episodes across all ten seasons. Even once Chandler was happily married to Monica, she was such a force in the show that she could not be written out.
With such a distinctive voice, it's no wonder that notable voice roles followed Friends. Lilo & Stitch, Kim Possible, Justice League & Kung Fu Panda all gave Wheeler work, though her recurring voice role in Archer was probably the most recognisable use of her unforgettable vocals.
In live action, Wheeler has mainly made a career of supporting roles as she did in Friends, featuring in Shameless, Hot In Cleveland, Perception, Shake It Up, Californication and The Closer, though none have had anything close to the pop culture impact of Janice in Friends.
