Two decades later, in 1994, Gould experienced a sudden career resurgence when he landed the part of Jack Geller, the father of Ross and Monica, on the wildly popular NBC sitcom Friends. Spurred on by Friends, Gould landed notable film roles in American History X (1998) and in the popular trilogy of heist films, Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).

Now something of an elder statesman in Hollywood,

enjoying a resurgent career, Gould is happier, more stable and more productive than ever. The one-time icon of 1960s youth culture is now a grandfather who is taking well to life as a senior citizen. "I've always been interested in participating and functioning as an older person, Gould says. "The idea is to continue to work. The work is the life. It's how I learned about the world."
