All the lovers of the series “Friends” are in mourning. The death of James Michael Tyler will leave a great void in Central Perk. And the cast members, who filmed with him for a decade, have not forgotten to say goodbye to Gunther, the one who is often referred to as the 7th Friends: “You were extremely grateful and humble every day on set. I feel that same gratitude for having known you. Rest in peace James.”, commented Courteney Cox (Monica) on Instagram.
James Michael Tyler is known for his role as Gunther, manager of the Central Perk Coffee Shop, in the series Friends. Originally conceived as a simple extra role, Gunther ended up being a speaking role. It is because he was the only extra able to use a percolator that James Michael Tyler got the role. His platinum blond dye is also the result of chance: the day before the audition, a friend apprentice hairdresser had taken him for guinea pig.
In 2021, he made a virtual appearance at the time of the special broadcast Friends: The Reunion.
James Michael Tyler also appeared in the series Scrubs (by Bill Lawrence) as a psychologist and in the series Episodes (with Matt LeBlanc).
