On Sunday, news broke that Friends actor James Michael Tyler had died. Tyler, who was 59-year-old, had been diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. “The world knew him as Gunther (the seventh ‘Friend’), from the hit series ‘Friends,’ but Michael’s loved ones knew him as an actor, musician, cancer-awareness advocate, and loving husband,” the actor’s family said in a statement. “Michael loved live music, cheering on his Clemson Tigers, and would often find himself in fun and unplanned adventures. If you met him once you made a friend for life.” Tyler’s Friends co-stars have since taken to social media to remember the actor.
