Larry Hankin in Real Life

Larry Hankin’s face is one many will remember. He played the eccentric neighbor Mr. Heckles during the first season of Friends, the guy who would constantly pester Monica and Rachel about seemingly trivial issues. However, his character met his end in the first season.

Despite this, Larry Hankin is alive and kicking at 83 years old. He made his most recent on-screen appearance in 2021 during the Friends reunion. While he was primarily active in Hollywood during the 1980s and 1990s, he made a notable appearance on HBO’s “Barry” as a depressed hitman, bringing back memories of Mr. Heckles.
