While Ross and Rachel’s kid Emma may have overshadowed him in the last two seasons, Ben Geller was the first Friends kid we fell in love with. Born to Ross and his lesbian ex-wife Carol, Ben’s birth itself was a great plot point of the first season. As an infant, Ben was portrayed by Michael Gunderson and later by twins Charles and John Allen.

From seasons 6 to 8, Ben Geller was played by Cole Sprouse before the character completely disappeared from the storyline. Since Sprouse played it last and had a memorable seven-episode run in these two seasons, fans quickly recognize him as Ben even in his adult life. Jennifer Aniston was shocked to learn a couple of years back that Sprouse was already in his 30s.
