Rock went on to reveal that he also could have been one of the six Central Perk regulars on"Friends" as well.
"There was talk about me being one of the 'Friends' at a point. Yes, I would have been the Black friend. That's basically who I am to America anyway at this point." While he did not specify which of the cast members he would have been on"Friends," Rock took a moment to acknowledge that he believes"Seinfeld" went in the right direction in picking Jason Alexander for the role over him.
"Let's just say the good people at ‘Seinfeld,’ they made the right choice. He's good. He's amazing," he said. That wasn’t the only role in a sitcom that Rock missed out on. He revealed that he was also passed over for the role of Theo Huxtable’s best friend, Cockroach, on"The Cosby Show."
Fox411 I almost give a damn.
Fox411 I find this hard to believe considering there were hardly any black actors on either of those shows. And I once heard the casting director for Seinfeld imply being black was a form of typecasting. 'If you play a cop watch cop shows,..., if you're black watch BET shows'.
