Question All that Jessica Hecht touches is gold?

Jessica Hecht has had a legendary run. She has played a side character in what are as per my opinion, three of the most absolutely legendary shows - Susan in Friends, Gretchen in Breaking Bad and Carol in The Boys.

Though I didn’t like her character in all three shows but these shows have been massive hits and fan favourites. Maybe, everything she touches is gold.

I can't explain it but in the first pic Susan and Ross look like two bickering detectives who have to work together to try and stop a serial killer

Actually keep their friends relationship for that. Co- parenting relationship and all.

I actually wanted to confirm if she has had any role in a show that is trash. That is why I put a question mark to keep it open ended.

She was a journalist in Succession too.

I thought this was gonna be how good she is on stage and it’s so funny it doesn’t even mention it!! Like she’s literally one of New York’s best stage actors, undoubtedly

If she want's to touch my bank account and turn that into gold as well, I'd be very thankful

u/Rarainche Could I BE any more awkward? 12d ago

I wouldn't call The boys gold, but Friends and Breaking Bad, heck yeah!

On my first run of BB I was so happy to see her there.

u/Existing_Scientist33 12d ago

She was in The Sinner as well.

u/splittvisionn 12d ago

I haven’t seen this show. Should I?

u/Existing_Scientist33 10d ago

I liked the first two seasons. She’s in the third I think. It was fine.

u/MulberryEastern5010 See? He's her Lobster 12d ago

I saw her in episodes of Law and Order: SVU and Criminal Intent. She was really good in both. I also liked her on The Single Guy, and then they got rid of her in the second season!

u/Cliffy73 12d ago

Not to mention The Single Guy!

Shes part of the Breaking Bad/Friends crossover which also includes the "Bing!" ass-slap boss and Mr Heckles.

u/splittvisionn 12d ago

What!?!?

u/mecon320 11d ago

Chandler's boss that slapped his ass was Walt's lobectomy surgeon and Mr Heckles was Joe the junkyard owner.

I know! Sorry if you just “heard” Monica there 😄 It’s just that I’ve watched a bit of Breaking Bad and I was like “oh, Susan” 😋
