James Michael Tyler, who portrayed Central Perk employee Gunther on Friends, has revealed his stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. He shared the news on Today on Monday (June 21) morning.

"I was 56 years old at the time, and they screen for PSA, which is prostate-specific antigen," Tyler said. "That came back at an extraordinarily high number. So I knew immediately when I went online and I saw the results of my blood test and blood work that there was obviously something quite wrong there. Nearly immediately, my doctor called me and said, 'Hey, I need you to come in tomorrow because I suspect that you may have quite a serious problem with your prostate'."
