A former colleague of Hardin's on The Office turned husband in this Friends reboot concept - Rainn Wilson should play the fun but firm, Jack Geller.

Wilson's ability to capture the hilarity in scenes while also heralding an exceptional emotional range puts him at the top of the shortlist for actors that could take on the role of Ross and Monica's father.

Jack Geller appeared intermittently throughout the show's tenure and was a favourite character with fans when he did show up. Rainn Wilson brought that same loveable energy to his role as Dwight Schrute on The Office.

He showed his chemistry with Melora Hardin in many scenes during the show - whenever they would share the screen they created some of the show's most memorable moments.

The relationship that he has already forged with Hardin would make for a fantastic pairing on screen in a modern-day Friends reboot.
