First of all, an honourable mention.

We all remember Paul Rudd as Phoebe's lovable, albeit sometimes goofy boyfriend that first appeared the penultimate season of Friends. Mike Hannigan was found by pure chance when Joey told Phoebe that he would set her up with an "old friend called Mike".

In a modern-day reboot of Friends, it would be a good reference for die-hard fans of the original show to have Paul Rudd reprise his role as 'Crap Bag'.

We all know that Rudd is seemingly incapable of ageing, as he looks almost identical at 51 as he did in his early thirties. To cast the Ant-Man star in his original role would be a perfect nod to fans of the show, demonstrating the fact that Rudd is excellent in any role he takes on.

His re-appearance would certainly excite Friends fans and it would allow for viewers new and old to have a connection with a rebooted, 21st century adaptation of the series.
