"F.R.I.E.N.D.S would not have been the same without" James Michael Tyler, wrote actress Jennifer Aniston in her eulogy for the actor, who died on Sunday, and not many would disagree with her. Actor James Michael Tyler, who was best-known for playing the role of Gunther, the hilarious manager of coffee shop Central Perk, in the iconic sitcom, died after battling cancer for almost three years at the age of 59 in Los Angeles on Sunday. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2018. Mourning their 'seventh F.R.I.E.N.D,' Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel Green on the show, Courteney Cox (Monica Geller), Lisa Kudrow (Lisa Kudrow) and Matt LeBlanc (Joey Tribbiani) poured their hearts out on social media. Jennifer wrote: "Friends would not have been the same without you. Thank you for the laughter you brought to the show and to all of our lives. You will be so missed #JamesMichaelTyler." James' character Gunther was in love with Rachel Green from season one to season 10.
"The size of gratitude you brought into the room and showed every day on set is the size of the gratitude I hold for having known you. Rest In peace James," wrote Courteney Cox in an Instagram post.
