Freddie Prinze Jr. is dishing on his guest starring role on Friends!

Back in season nine of the hit sitcom in the episode “The One with the Male Nanny,” the 43-year-old actor played Sandy, the male nanny for Ross and Rachel’s newborn daughter Emma.

In the episode, Ross didn’t approve of the “manny” because of how sensitive Sandy was, so Freddie‘s role only lasted one episode.

Now years later, Freddie is revealing that he almost didn’t get the role – and that it was originally offered to Tom Hanks!

“I wasn’t even supposed to be [Sandy], that was originally offered to Tom Hanks but he wasn’t gonna make it back from his film on time,” Freddie shared with Entertainment Weekly. “And so my agent called me and said, ‘Do you want to be on Friends? And I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll do an episode of Friends. That’ll be great.’ He said, ‘Yeah, it shoots tomorrow.’ and I was like, ‘What?’ He said, ‘Yes, tomorrow so I’ll send you the script.’”

After getting the role, Freddie said that star David Schwimmer was able to help calm his nerves on the day of filming.

“So I went in and I was totally nervous because it was on the day of shooting. I didn’t even get to do a read-through,” Freddie shared. “And David Schwimmer walked into my dressing room and he was so cool and so passionate and he had so much energy. He came into the room and was like, ‘You’re going to love this, man. It’s like a little two-act play and the crowd is so engaged, and so into it. You’ll have a ton of fun, don’t worry about a thing.’”

Sarah Michelle Gellar is opening up about what makes her relationship with Freddie Prinze Jr. work. They’ve been married since 2002!

“I think the truth of any relationship is that, whether you’re a couple, whether you’re friends, whether you’re business partners, is you have to put the work into a relationship. We live in a very disposable society and people don’t want to have to work. They want immediate reactions, they want immediate responses. It takes work,” Sarah Michelle Gellar said to Us Weekly.

She continued, “It takes work to have a good friendship. You have to call and check in and dedicate that time, and most people aren’t willing to put that work in. So to have a successful relationship, whether it’s marriage, whether it’s friendship, whether it’s business, you have to put the time, if you want to see the results.”

If you missed it, Freddie recently had to be replaced in a hot new CW show.

Freddie Prinze Jr. has exited the upcoming Nancy Drew reboot series and he is being replaced by Party of Five‘s Scott Wolf.

Scott will take over the role of “Carson Drew, the father of the teen sleuth played by Kennedy McMann.”

Carson is an “attorney who has become estranged from his daughter after the death of his wife. His relationship with Nancy is thrown into disarray when the sleuth’s murder investigation reveals secrets from his past.”

THR reports that the producers decided to go in a different direction with the role and it was amicable on both sides.

Nancy Drew was recently picked up to series by The CW and will air next season.

Freddie Prinze Jr. has joined the cast of the CW’s untitled Nancy Drew pilot!

The 43-year-old actor is set to star opposite Kennedy McMann as Nancy’s father in the classic mystery series.

The series will follow an 18-year-old Nancy Drew and is set in the summer after her high school graduation.

While Nancy thought “she’d be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined. When Nancy ends up a suspect in a murder, it rekindles her love for detective work, even though the clues lead her to believe that a long-dead local girl may be the killer.”

Freddie will play Carson Drew, a dynamic attorney who has become estranged from Nancy following the death of his wife and Nancy’s murder investigation reveals unsettling secrets from his past.
