12 Friends Actors Who Are No Longer With Us

12. Taylor Negron

Who Was He? Negron started off in comedy while still in high-school, before later making the move into acting. He made appearances in films such as The Last Boy Scout and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, while also making memorable guest appearances on a number of hit TV shows, including Seinfeld and ER. His last television credit was on The Comedians, alongside Billy Crystal. He was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, and passed away aged just 57 at the beginning of 2015.

Role On Friends: He appeared in the episode The One Where They're Going To Party (Season 4 Episode 9) as Allesandro, the owner of the restaurant of the same name. He comes to complain when Monica writes a negative review of his restaurant, and ends up offering her a job as head chef (thus putting an end to Monica and Phoebe's fledgling catering business). Although he didn't appear again, Monica did work at Allesandro's until Season 9, so he was always a part of the show.
