	Actors - James Michael Tyler

James Michael Tyler (born May 28, 1962 in Winona, Mississippi) is an actor, best known for playing Gunther on the hit NBC sitcom Friends.

Gunther was a coffee shop worker at Central Perk who had crush on Rachel Green, played by Jennifer Aniston. Tyler was an extra who was cast as Gunther because he was the only extra who knew how to operate an espresso machine. This casting behind the coffeebar led to the semi-recurring speaking part of Gunther.

Tyler's signature peroxide blonde hair was actually accidental. The day before the Friends audition, one of Tyler's acquaintances, who studied to become a hairdresser, experimented on his hair. When Tyler showed up for the audition, the producer liked it so much they decided to keep it.

Tyler used to work in several coffee shops before acting.

Tyler graduated from Clemson University with a degree in geology.
