It's time to close the corner and return it to the headlines - admit that the thing you were missing was the name of Beading Nike Guy • Brother, the longings
No one knew who he was.
Ross Geller and Beading Nike Guy in "Friends"
As the unification of the iconic cast of the series "Friends" approaches (so at least according to the company Jennifer Aniston), it seems that her fans will soon also get answers to many questions about the series that remain unresolved.
One of the biggest mysteries in the history of "Friends" was the identity of the neighbor from the building opposite the apartment of Monica and Rachel, nicknamed "Ugly Naked Guy" for years, and it's time to reveal to Israeli viewers who it is.
The face of the home-naked lover has never been seen in the series, which has made his identity even more mysterious and particularly intriguing for her ardent fans.
Revelations on the subject indicate that he is a superintendent who was cast for the series' team and continued to play the character for three years.
The casting and production team of the show kept his identity a secret for many years, even after it went off the screen in 2004 (probably because many of them simply did not know the identity of the world famous extras).
The only thing the fans knew about him was his heavy build and red hair color.
The topic particularly preoccupied Todd van Lolling, a Huffington Post reporter who conducted a comprehensive network investigation with the aim of locating the man behind the nudity.
After failing in the initial identification and mistakenly thinking that he is the actor Michael Hagerty (who denied any connection to the character), it is clear that Van Lolling has now arrived at solving the mystery.
After a year of intensive searching (in which he also reached the creator of the series, David Crane - who also did not know who it was), the journalist came to a band called Jennifer Bender, who remembered the identity of the anonymous actor and even said he came to a series meeting.
According to Bender, this is an actor named John Hogan - or at least this is the person who claims to be the one who played the naked man with no identity.
On Hogan's IMDB page he does get credit for the character's portrayal, despite the fact that the page does not provide any factual reinforcements to the claim.
Despite this, Van Lolling compared the photos appearing on the website to the PR photos of Hogan from the "Friends" filming period and it is clear that they have similarities to the few scenes in which Hogan appears on screen. The last 20 years.

John Fair
Although he has appeared in his name in many episodes of the series, he has only been seen in it physically twice, at an angle that showed only his body and not his face.
In one of his few appearances he participated in a scene in which David Schwimmer in the character of Ross Geller undressed and ate muffins with us in order to obtain the apartment in which he lived.
In a telephone conversation the journalist had with Hogan, the actor admitted that he was indeed the one who played the character.
"Do you want to let the world know who the beaded Nike Guy was? There's only one like that. And that was me," Hogan declared in an interview, adding that in his and Ms. Schwimmer's famous muffin scene the two were not really naked and wore boxers.
Series producer Todd Stevens provided further interesting information when he found out that Fair was a standout whose production sought to keep his identity "under the radar" so that no one would be identified with a character with such blatant character.
"We just asked the casting company 'Central' to send us some random people. It was not someone with a history on the show," he said.
Only we are sorry that he has not participated in any other series since?
