What's the point of being married to one of the biggest movie stars of all time if you can't ask him to guest star on your sitcom from time to time? The One With The Rumor featured Jennifer Aniston's then-husband Brad Pitt in the uncredited role of Will Colbert, an ex-fat kid who went to school with Monica, Ross, and Rachel. The twist? Will hated Rachel's guts. During the episode, after being invited to Thanksgiving diner, Will reveals that he and Ross were part of an "I hate Rachel" club, which is exactly what it sounds like. The two would lock themselves in Ross's bedroom and riff about how much they despise Rachel and even went as far as to spread a viscous rumor about her. Namely, they spread a rumor that she had "both male and female reproductive parts." Some people may have felt that Pitt was out of his depth on a sitcom stage, but that certainly wasn't the case, and the result was comedy gold. Also, the line: "Look at her standing there with those yams. My two greatest enemies, Ross. Rachel Green and complex carbohydrates" is still one of the best of the series.
