monica is portrayed by american actress courteney cox. crane and kauffman had originally written the role of monica for comedian janeane garofalo, their first choice, because they were attracted to her "edgier and snarkier" voice. however, garofalo ultimately turned down the offer. actress jami gertz was also offered the role but declined, while actress leah remini auditioned for monica before ultimately being cast as carrie heffernan in the sitcom "the king of queens" in 1998; remini would eventually guest star in an episode of "friends". before being cast as monica in "friends", cox was best known for appearing in singer bruce springsteen's "dancing in the dark" music video; within the television industry for her recurring role as lauren miller, alex p. keaton's girlfriend, on the sitcom "family ties"; and melissa robinson in the comedy film "" (1994), opposite jim carrey. after guest starring on the sitcom "seinfeld" as meryl, main character jerry seinfeld's girlfriend, the producers offered cox the role of monica's spoiled best friend rachel because the actress "had this cheery, upbeat energy", which was significantly different than how they had envisioned monica at the time. feeling she was not "quirky" enough to portray rachel, cox lobbied in favor of playing monica instead because she was drawn to the character's "strong" personality, but the producers feared that she was not "tough" enough for the role, which was offered to actress jennifer aniston, alongside whom cox would eventually co-star. meanwhile, a close competitor for the role was actress nancy mckeon; littlefield recalled having greatly enjoyed both actress' auditions equally, and left the final decision up to crane and kauffman. ultimately, cox won the role over mckeon because the creators noticed "something fresh" in her audition; kauffman elaborated that cox ultimately "brought a whole bunch of other colors" to monica than what they had first envisioned back when they were considering garofalo for the part. meanwhile, aniston ultimately won the role of rachel.
