Tuning in for a weekly dosage in 90s was the norm for most households who were eager to witness the chaos unfold between the group of twenty-somethings.While many viewers wanted to follow their favourite characters - Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) and Ross Geller (David Schwimmer), the programme also became quite the one-stop-shop for A-list appearances too.As ratings continued to grow so did the large list of celebrities who were keen to feature in an episode or two.While the focus remained mainly on the famous six Friends each episode, the show simply wouldn't have been the same without the reappearance from some key regulars.Here, Daily Star glances back at some of the forgotten stars from Friends and what they are up to now.Bruce Willis's Friends cameo is up there with some of the funniest moments ever on the programme.In the episode, Ross Geller is his usual awkward-self when he tries to win over his girlfriend Elizabeth's intimidating Dad - Paul Steven's, who is played by the famous actor Bruce.Things became more interesting when Rachel ended up dating Paul which led to the disastrous but laugh-out-loud funny double date scene.Fans were literally left with jaws on the floor when the award winning Hollywood actor turned up on the sitcom.Bruce is best known for his roles in the Die Hard franchise, Armageddon, Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense - to name a few.Earlier this year the prestigious star announced he would be stepping away from the film industry due to a tragic health.
