James Michael Tyler, an American actor well known for acting in the world-famous sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. He played the quirky manager Gunther of the 'Central Perk' coffee shop in the yesteryear show. The 59-year-old actor passed away on Sunday after battling prostate cancer. He has appeared in around 185 episodes out of the 10 seasons (236 eps) of the show.

James even appeared in the recent 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S Renunion Special' episode. Tyler was first diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2018. In the show, Gunther was crazily in love with Jennifer Aniston's Rachel role. The actress shared an iconic scene from the sitcom featuring Rachel and Gunther that made the fans even more emotional.
