FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 days agoRoss from Friends stutters a lot. I’ve often wondered if the stuttering is scripted, an intentional quirk the writers chose for Ross, or if the actor naturally talks that way

It’s a common technique that some actors use, I don’t know what they call it, but I call it the “dub dub dub” because sometimes they say something similar to that when they’re struggling for a word or pretending to struggle for a word.
Fun fact the friends show was written specifically for Ross and he was the only character who didn’t have to audition because the show was written for him. He’s got some serious entertainment industry connections apparently. And in the state of California for jobs that require sexual harassment prevention training every two years, Ross (I forget his real name, Jonathan something?) he plays a role as the manager of a company who sexually harasses a new employee. It’s super cringe. And we have to watch it & pass a quiz on it every 2 years 🙄
