Everybody knows who Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Monica are. You'll also remember people like Janice, Emily and Richard. Hell, you might even recall the likes of Tag, Janine, Pete and Eric.
If I showed you their faces, they'd be instantly recognisable as the main cast of Friends, their supporting stars and those actors and actresses with big reputations who made fleeting guest appearances.
But would you be able to pick 'Ugly Naked Guy' out of a crowd? Except for looking for an ugly, naked guy, I imagine you'd be as stumped as anybody else.

Unbelievably, and after a year-long quest to find him, the infamous 'Ugly Naked Guy' from Friends has been tracked down and identified by The Huffington Post senior writer Todd Van Luling.
And here he is...
Jon Haugen made his on-screen debut during Season 3 of the legendary sitcom in 'The One With The Giant Poking Device' and made his second and final appearance in Season 5's 'The One Where Everybody Finds Out'.

During Van Luling's year-long quest to find 'Ugly Naked Guy' he found out that Haugen had actually just been an extra as producers didn't really want anyone being 'Ugly Naked Guy'.And why, after all these years and so much mystery, didn't Haugen come forward to proclaim himself the rightful 'Ugly Naked Guy'? Well, he was just going with the flow.He told The Huffington Post: "The reason I never came forward was because I was just keeping it mellow because Warner Brothers was keeping it mellow. They wanted everybody to have a guess who I was."
Oh and just because you ought to know, Ross and Haugen weren't naked during THAT scene, they were in their boxers.
