We adore the television series Friends<\/em>. One of the funniest and most memorable episodes was that in which Ross (played by David Schwimmer) asks the group \u201cWhat is Chandler\u2019s [played by Matthew Perry] job?\u201d Of course, this was a group of people who had supposedly known each other for at least a dozen years, and so everyone ought to have known the answer to this question about their friend, yet no one knew the answer.<\/p>\n

This line of trivia is evident in \u201cWhat jobs do Characters Played by Emmy-Nominated Actors Hold Down?\u201d<\/strong> infographic. It can be great fodder for a great many bar bets. It can lead also to further trivia questions. For example, it shows the job of Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons on The Big Bang Theory<\/em>. This reminded us that another character on the show–Amy Farrah Fowler–is a PhD, and is played by Mayim Bialik who, in real life, has a PhD!<\/p>\n

The show Breaking Bad<\/em> is known for many things, including the fact that it has been nominated for and won a great many awards, including Emmys. What is sometimes lost is that Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, is a chemistry teacher.<\/p>\n

Going back in time–and not necessarily regarding Emmy-nominated actors–is that Ralph Kramden, played by the inimitable Jackie Gleason, was a bus driver; Archie Bunker, played by Carroll O\u2019Connor, seems to have been never described more than being a blue-collar worker, although he later became an owner of a bar; and of course Superman, played by various actors, is a newspaper reporter.<\/p>\n
