Sam McMurray:  Forever a Friend of “Friends”

Character actor Sam McMurray could be recognized for one of any of the numerous roles he’s had over his enduring career, but there is one he is remembered for the most -- Doug, the “slap happy” boss of Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry).  Despite only appearing in three episodes of the series, and since having recurring roles in The Fosters, Devious Maids, Cristela and Scandal to name a few, he can’t escape his Friend of Friends status.  “I only did three episodes,” recalled McMurray when MediaVillage quizzed him on the subject.  “There were supposed to be more, but for whatever reason, it didn't happen.”
