‘Friends’ actor who played Gunther says Central Perk fan theory makes sense
“Friends” actor James Michael Tyler recently told RadioTimes.com that a fan theory about the characters’ coffeeshop habit “makes a lot of sense.”
Fans of the NBC sitcom have long wondered how Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey were always able to get prime seating in their local coffee shop — and some theorize it’s because Tyler’s character Gunther, the manager of Central Perk, made sure of it.
In some scenes, a “reserved” sign can be seen on the coffee table in front of the iconic orange sofa.
“I read about that recently too,” Tyler said. “I never did that! That was probably one of the set designers, I’m guessing, maybe one of the writers … I’m not sure who was responsible for that. But I do remember seeing that.”
Gunther famously harbored a crush on Jennifer Aniston’s Rachel throughout the show.
“It never really occurred to me why it was there, but it makes a lot of sense [that Gunther put it there] in retrospect,” he continued. “There are a lot of little Easter Eggs which are in there, that people will be looking for for years to come!”
