The Best Celebrity Cameos and Appearances in 'Friends'

Aisha Tyler

Aisha Tyler could have been a perfect fit for Joey if he had only had the brains! This actress began her time on the show as his intelligent paleontologist girlfriend named Charlie. However, by the end of season 9, she ended up with Ross...honestly that ending makes a lot more sense!

Hank Azaria

Friends had a real love for characters in the STEM field. Hank Azaria played Phoebe's scientist boyfriend, David, in seasons 1,7, and 9. He moves away to Minsk, Russia at the end of season 1, but he continues to make appearances throughout the rest of the series.
