“I was only in it for just a blip,” the 51-year-old actor said. I felt, ‘I’m like a prop on this show. It’s not about Mike Hannigan.’ But there’s a very interesting feeling to be a part of something that has that kind of profound impact on pop culture.”<\/p>\n

Rudd made his “Friends” debut as Phoebe Buffay’s (Lisa Kudrow) love interest on season nine, episode three titled “The One With the Paediatrician.”<\/p>\n
During the episode, Phoebe and Joey (Matt LeBlanc) agreed to set each other up on a blind double date. Joey forgot to hold up his end of the bargain and scrambled to find a partner for Phoebe, so he lied and told her that she’d be meeting a guy named Mike. Joey then called out for anyone named Mike at Central Perk and was surprised when Rudd’s character happened to be there.<\/p>\n
Phoebe and Mike end up hitting things off and they got married during the 10th and final season of “Friends.”<\/p>\n

Rudd previously spoke about his experience as a secondary character on “Friends” during an\u00a0appearance on “The Graham Norton Show” in October 2019.<\/p>\n
The actor said that “it was an incredible thing to be part of and the whole experience, but seems a bit surreal and a bit of a blur in my memory.”<\/p>\n
He also recalled\u00a0feeling a bit awkward being on set while filming the series finale\u00a0and seeing the main cast members overcome with emotions having starred on the series for 10 seasons, unlike him.<\/p>\n
“The show was a phenomenon and I was in the very last episode, which made no sense to me whatsoever,” Rudd said. “I was on the sound stage and Jennifer Aniston was crying and I thought, ‘I’m not supposed to be here,’ so to break the ice I went over and said, ‘Well, we did it, what a ride.’<\/p>\n
“The joke inevitably fell flat!” he added.<\/p>\n
