Fisher Stevens, who made an appearance on the first season of "Friends," is apologizing to the cast for how he acted when he was on set.
In his brief "Friends" stint, Stevens played Phoebe's (Lisa Kudrow) psychiatrist boyfriend Roger. In the show, the character was meant to be a little evil, acting like a jerk to all of Phoebe's friends.
However, Stevens now admits that he acted like an "a--hole" on set to the actors and crew in real life. During an episode of PeopleTV's "Couch Surfing," Stevens explained, "At that moment in my career, I had never done a sitcom before."
"I had never heard of 'Friends' because it was just the beginning of the show and I didn't watch TV at the time much," he continued.

Stevens explained that he got a bad taste in his mouth when he learned the script only to find that they had rewritten his scenes prior to his arrival on set. "Because that's what sitcoms did. And I didn't know that," he said.
"I was kind of an a--hole, I have to admit," he continued. "'What do you mean? So I have to relearn lines that you've written that are worse than what you'd originally written?'" he remembered thinking.
Now, Stevens is confident that if any of the cast members of "Friends" were to be asked about him, they wouldn't have kind things to say. "Yeah, I was a d---. I've rarely seen any of those people on 'Friends' again, but I'm sure if you asked them about me, they would go, 'What a New York snob.'"
Stevens concluding with a parting message for stars Kudrow, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer. "Yeah, I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry I was a d--- to you all. I apologize. I was bad, I was wrong."
