American actor dead is world news?
RIP to him and I hope it was painless but let’s not overinflate this story
'Friends' was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it's not just good ol' American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor's passing was.
