The one who starred as Phoebe&#039;s psychiatrist boyfriend

Years After Appearing as the Psychiatrist Boyfriend in ‘Friends’, Fisher Stevens Once Apologized for His Harsh Behavior

Friends is one of those shows that has seen remarkably unforgettable guest stars
through the run of 10 seasons. The sitcom has been blessed with the presence of
famous actors like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Robin Williams, and Julia Roberts.
Even UK’s royalty, Sarah Ferguson, Fergie, also made a cameo in the show. One of
them was also Fisher Stevens, who appeared as Phoebe’s psychiatrist boyfriend
Roger. Not only that, but he also matched Phoebe’s weirdness.

While most of the guest stars loved to be a part of the show, it was not the
case with Stevens. And back in 2021, he opened up about his rudeness to the cast
and apologized for the same.


FISHER STEVENS REGRETTED HIS HARSH BEHAVIOR TOWARDS THE FRIENDS CAST

Stevens played the role of Roger in Season 1 Episode 13, The One with the
B**bies. Talking about this role with the host of the People TV’s Couch
Suffering in 2021, he admitted he had never been on any sitcom before Friends.
Remembering his interaction with the cast members, Stevens revealed he snapped
at them because of the changed script. “I apologize. I was bad, I was wrong,”
apologized Stevens to the cast and crew, even calling himself an “a**hole.”



Stevens flew from to LA for the shoot where he got to know the changes in the
script. Although he acknowledged it was a very common practice during the
interview, he admitted he did not know about it back then. As soon as he learned
about the change, he snapped and said, “So I have to relearn lines that you’ve
written that are worse than what you’d originally written?” If not back then,
but he did apologize for his behavior in 2021.

Stevens also admitted he had not been in constant touch with the cast of the
show. However, he told the host, if she asked them about him, the cast would
refer to him as the ‘New York snob’. Ever since he committed this mistake of
losing control, he wanted the cast of the show to know how deeply and sincerely
sorry he was. Well, if you remember the episode, none of Phoebe’s friends like
Roger in the show as well.


WHY DID NO ONE LIKE ROGER IN THE EPISODE?

As a psychiatrist, Roger came into Phoebe’s friends’ lives only to disrupt them.
Not only because of what he spoke but also because of the way he spoke, no one
liked him. During a normal conversation with Ross, he was able to start a
quarrel between him and Monica. What was the most interesting was the way he
broke down the group in front of Phoebe. That moment showcased how intense his
character was!



Although fans did not like the character, they sure loved Stevens’ stunning
effort to make it so hilarious. Amidst the iconic moments from the sitcom

Roger breaking is surely one of them. Well, in the show, Roger did not apologize
for his breakdown. But Fisher Stevens sure accepted his unprofessional behavior
and asked for forgiveness as well.
