Who did Mike Hagerty play in Friends?
Friends fans will remember Hagerty for playing the role of Mr. Treeger in five episodes. He was the superintendent for Rachel, Monica, Chandler, and Joey’s apartment building in New York City, usually appearing to clean up messes caused by the gang. In the season 4 episode “The One With The Ballroom Dancing,” Rachel even gets in trouble with Mr. Treeger, which almost leads to her and Monica being kicked out of their apartment. The way they get out of it is sweet and hilarious, though, as Joey agrees to help Mr. Treeger with his dancing skills.
