In the episode he’s seen acting like a fool to all of the six titular characters, but fast-forward all these years and he’s in a new series altogether playing Hugo Baker.
Fisher is now 59 years old, and recently popped up in Succession – an Emmy-winning series on Sky that has viewers hooked.
The actor was spotted in the fourth season of the hit show, and a fan took to social media after noticing him.
Sharing a recent photo of the actor alongside one of him in Friends all those years ago, they penned: “Just realized this guy was Phoebe’s weird psychiatrist boyfriend in Friends lmao.”
Shocked viewers responded, with one writing: “oh my GOD,” and another said: “Oh, the Fisher Stevens rabbit hole runs deep, enjoy your journey.”
A third added: “And he dated Michelle Pfeiffer in the late 80s, this always blows my mind.”
A fourth said: “THANK YOU! I have been fixated on this.”
Fisher is also a director, writer and producer alongside his role as a stage and screen actor.
The star dated fellow actor Michelle Pfeiffer between 1989 and 1992, and he’s since gone on to marry partner and producer Alexis Bloom.
The couple wed in 2017 and share two children together.
Succession season 4 is available to stream via HBO Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Sky GO.
The program’s fourth and final edition premiered on March 26, 2023.
HBO debuted the series on June 3, 2018, and has since been the recipient of several Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
As the show progresses toward its conclusion, viewers will find out which one of Logan Roy’s four children will take over Waystar RoyCo.
