Jason Alexander made an appearance in an episode of Friends. He is never seen again after this, but considering his apparent newfound friendship with Phoebe, which would presumably have diminished the feelings of loneliness that drove him crazy and caused him to feel suicidal, it is safe to assume that she was successful in her attempts to convince him not to kill himself. Earl appears to absorb Phoebe's words when she tells him that he doesn't need any of his uncaring co-workers to pay attention to him-but when he loudly announces this to them all and they ignore him completely, not even looking at him, he can't help but express to Phoebe that he'd like a little bit of attention from them. Phoebe even tells Earl that her mom's name was Pearl (P-Earl). She then offers some "similarities" between Earl and her mom Lily (though they weren't actually similarities so much as they were stretched truth and lies). When Earl hangs up on her, Phoebe decides to go down to his office in person to try and convince him not to kill himself. When she does, it soon becomes clear to her that the ignorance of him displayed by the people in his life around him is driving Earl crazy. Trying to convince him not to kill himself, Phoebe uses her mother's suicide as proof that she "knows about this kind of stuff" and tells Earl it's fate that connected her and him. When she asks why he has rejected her offer, the bitter Earl replies that he doesn't need any toner because he's "going to kill (himself)" He goes on to say that he's stuck in a meaningless, dead-end job and no one even knows he exists. Phoebe gets a new job selling toner over the phone, and Earl is the first person she calls on the job. He was a warm presence that will be missed.Earl is a suicidal office manager in " The One Where Rosita Dies" portrayed by Jason Alexander. "Every time we had the opportunity to catch up with Stan, he was nothing but kind, thoughtful and sincere. "He brought a sense of humor, kindness and youthful enthusiasm to the character of Richie Ryan for six seasons," the post read. Honoring his memory, the official "Highlander" Facebook page shared a post paying tribute to Kirsch. 
He also starred as a guest in several other shows including "Family Law and "JAG" but the highlight of his career came when he was cast in season one of "Friends" as Monica's (Courteney Cox) younger love interest.

In light of the apparent suicide, Kirsch's family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention. Emergency services were called but Kirsch was pronounced dead at the scene. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Green found her husband hanging in their bathroom. Green further wrote that she was grateful to "everyone for the outpouring of love and support," adding that she felt "surrounded by love" during the difficult time. "Thank you for your understanding and respecting our privacy during this incredibly difficult time." "He was so loved and we are all just devastated," the post read. The actor's wife, Kristyn Green, confirmed the news Monday on Facebook.
