‘’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,’’ representative Toni Benson said in a statement.

Michael’s character Gunther appeared in some 150 episodes across all 10 seasons of the beloved 1990s sitcom.

He sarcastically managed Central Perk – the café where all the other characters hang out. He also had a huge crush on Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel.
