If you watched '90s sitcoms back when they were airing on television, it would be impossible to recall all the one-time guest stars who came and went. We didn't realize back then that some of these guest stars would go on to become famous Hollywood stars. But now, thanks to the internet, we’ll never forget the times our favorite actors appeared as small guest characters in some of the biggest sitcoms of the '90s.
On shows from Friends to Roseanne, some of these guest actors would go on to become bigger stars than the series regulars (Seinfeld requires a list of its own). Do you recall these big stars appearing on '90s sitcoms?
