Ex-model Matt LeBlanc was a familiar face on American TV long before Friends due to an advert involving a skyscraper, a hot dog and a bottle of tomato ketchup. Although, his film credits are not as illustrious as those as his fellow Friends, his appearance in Lost In Space as the black PVC suit wearing hero proves he has the looks to carry off a leading role, but he stills seems to be searching for the right vehicle. His fans must be hoping that after the disastrous film Ed he turns down any more chimp buddy movies!
