We've Already Lost Too Many Friends Actors

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Mike Hagerty has over 100 acting credits to his name, but "Friends" fans will remember him best as Monica, Rachel, Joey, and Chandler's gruff building manager, Mr. Treeger. Despite his hard shell exterior making Rachel cry, Treeger's shining episode, "The One With the Ballroom Dancing," reveals his kind-hearted nature and Joey even ends up having fun hanging out with him.

Alongside his memorable appearances in "Friends," the Chicago-born character actor has appearances in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Ally McBeal," and "Seinfeld" under his belt. His later TV credits included popular shows like "Community," "Grey's Anatomy," "Glee," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "Shameless." At the time of his death, Hagerty was filming the second season of the TV dramedy "Somebody Somewhere." He previously admitted to Collider that he filmed his self-tape audition for the show on his iPad. "I don't think it looked very good, but they liked it, and they bought it. That's how I came to it," he said, adding that he was very happy with how his portrayal of the character turned out.

Hagerty suddenly died on May 5, 2022 at age 67. He was suffering from an infection in his leg which hadn't fully healed, and he was taken to the hospital ahead of filming, but had a severe adverse reaction to antibiotics while being treated. This caused him to have a seizure and go into a coma before passing away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
