As hard as it seems to believe, it’s been over 25 years since we first met Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Monica, and Chandler on NBC’s Emmy-winning comedy Friends. While the series has been off-air for years, it continues to live on in syndication and through HBO Max everyone’s favorite group of friends continues to be introduced to new generations of viewers.

During its ten seasons, Friends managed to build up one of the greatest pools of guest stars with many big-name stars dropping by for a guest appearance before breaking big.

Because of the sheer number of Friends guest stars from Seasons 1-10, we’ve decided to help long-time fans and future viewers keep track of all of the show’s high-profile guest stars with an in-depth guide to the countless Friends guest stars featured throughout the show’s various seasons!
