Even after all this time, Friends is still there for us.

While Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry and Courteney Cox have gone on to other roles, Friends: The Complete Series (out on Blu-ray today!) is all the proof you need that Rachel, Chandler, Monica and the rest will live on forever. James Michael Tyler, aka Gunther of Central Perk, talked to us exclusively about his experience on one of the best sitcoms of all time.

It was a wonderful experience, working with the people who were literally the best at what they were doing," he tells us. "Everybody loved what they did. And I think that has a lot to do with the longevity of the series. It was a decade of my life that went by in a flash."

Even though he says he isn't really in touch with his former castmembers, he does still see them from time to time in his own way. For example, the woman who played Gunther's true love.

"I see [Aniston] on the tabloids at the supermarket checkout. She's a wonderful, wonderful human being," he gushes. "Just as sweet as can be. She deserves all the success and her newfound happiness."
