Adam Goldberg, known for his role as Chandler's roommate Eddie on 'Friends,' has criticized the show's lack of diversity, describing it as 'insane' in hindsight. In interviews, he reflected on the industry's norms at the time, stating that the absence of representation for people of color was typical across American television.
