A former Friends cast member is barely recognizable after three decades since the show's premiere.

Can you believe it has already been 30 years since the beloved sitcom Friends first graced our television screens? Take a moment to let that sink in. And in honor of this momentous occasion, one of the original cast members surprised fans with a recent role that left them stunned.

Geoffrey Lower, who played Monica Geller's bearded boyfriend Alan in the third episode, made a surprising appearance in the latest Star Wars series, Skeleton Crew. It's safe to say that he looked quite different from his days as Alan on Friends.

In the episode, "The One With The Thumb," Monica was apprehensive about introducing her new beau to the rest of the gang. She was worried that they might not approve or scare him off. However, much to her surprise, they hit it off and even convinced Chandler to quit smoking. But alas, Monica and Alan's romance was short-lived as she ultimately broke things off.

It turns out that Alan wasn't a fan of the rest of the group, but Monica spared their feelings and he was never seen on the show again. But Friends wasn't Lower's first major TV role. In fact, the year before he appeared on the show, he made his debut as Rev. Timothy Johnson in Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, a role he played for 113 episodes over the next five years.

Lower's acting career spanned over 30 years and he made appearances in popular shows such as Quantum Leap, Matlock, NCIS, and Beverly Hills, 90210. One of his earliest roles was in the classic 1991 film, Hook. And even now, at the age of 66, Lower is still actively pursuing his passion for acting, as seen in his recent role in Skeleton Crew.

In a recent Instagram post, Lower shared photos from his recent projects, including the Star Wars series and a short film called One More Minute. And on his official website, it's revealed that he not only acts but also spends his time creating homes for Angelenos with his wife and hanging out with his sons and their dog, Kioko.

It's amazing to see how much Lower has accomplished in his career, and how he continues to surprise and delight audiences with his talent. Who knows what exciting projects he has in store for us in the future? We can't wait to find out.
