Are the cast members of community friends in real life?

According to Alison Brie, who played Annie on all six seasons of “Community,” the actors on the comedy series still speak to each other regularly. “The text chain keeps coming off,” Brie said in an interview with Yahoo! “We’ve already texted seven times today,” she added. “Dani [Pudi] and ken [Jeong] saw each other at an event last night so they sent photos. We text each other all the time. That’s very sweet. I love these guys.”

Pudi and Jeong also stayed with “Community” for all six seasons of its run, even as actors like Chevy Chase and Donald Glover left the show. With the cast expanding to include characters played by Jonathan Banks, Keith David and Paget Brewster, it’s a bit difficult to predict who could possibly be returning for the long-rumored film.

Chase, in particular, came into conflict with “Community” creator Dan Harmon and seems unlikely to return as a result. Similarly, Glover left the series under somewhat favorable circumstances and may not be interested in reprising his role as the dopey Troy Barnes in a movie. Anyway, it’s nice to know that some cast members still speak to each other regularly to this day.
