Friends guest star Jennifer Grey reveals why her role had to be recast. As the seminal sitcom was starting its run on NBC, the show landed a major actor to play a pivotal part near the end of season 1. Grey, best known for her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Dirty Dancing, joined the cast as Mindy. Though the character would make another appearance in the Friends season 2 finale, she was portrayed by Jana Marie Hupp instead.
