Over Friends' multi-year-run, James Michael Tyler became the most frequently recurring guest star on the series. Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox paid tributes to the late actor on social media sites

James Michael Tyler, the actor known widely for his recurring role as Gunther on Friends, has died. He was 59. Tyler died Sunday at home in Los Angeles from prostate cancer, said his manager, Toni Benson. Tyler was first diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018. 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,” Benson wrote in a tribute. “Michael loved live music, cheering on his Clemson Tigers, and would often find himself in fun and unplanned adventures.” Matt LeBlanc, Joey on the show, paid tribute to Tyler by sharing photos from the Friends’ set on his Instagram profile. “We had a lot of laughs buddy. You will be missed. RIP my friend,” he wrote in the caption. Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel in Friends, also dedicated an Instagram post to Tyler. She shared a clip from the show featuring her and Tyler.
