Charming, funny, he never made you feel strange. We are devastated by his death. Mike was adored by the entire cast and the Somebody Somewhere crew. Our thoughts are with his wife and family.”
Mike Hagerty played in several episodes of the popular sitcom Friends the character of Treeger, the maintenance man of the building where the protagonists of the NBC sitcom lived.
