Ensemble cast

Friends is often considered to be one of the first American television shows with an ensemble cast.[1] The main actors, from left, clockwise: Lisa Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, share similar screen times.

In a dramatic production, an ensemble cast is one that comprises many principal actors and performers who are typically assigned roughly equal amounts of screen time.[2] The term is also used interchangeably to refer to a production (typically film) with a large cast or a cast with several prominent performers.[3]
