Jennifer Aniston is the latest star to speak out following the death of James Burrows.
If you didn’t see the sad news, the acclaimed television director and producer died on Friday (June 19) at the age of 85.
Burrows was best known for co-creating Cheers and directing every episode of Will & Grace‘s original run. He also directed episodes of Friends, Frasier, Taxi, and more beloved comedies, with more than 1,000 directing credits to his name.
Following news of Burrows‘ passing, Jennifer, 57, took to Instagram on Saturday (June 20) to pay tribute to the late director.
Oh boy… Papa Burrows.
The hardest thing about writing this is that you spent a lifetime making people feel loved, and now it feels impossible to put all of that love into a few paragraphs.He called us his “kids” —
“Where are the kids?”?“Let’s see if the kids can make the joke work.”
No pressure.His own incredible children were generous enough to share him with all of us who were lucky enough to experience his unicorn presence. He was a father figure to me. He always checked in on me. He worried about me, celebrated me, taught me, guided me, and held me through the hardest times and the best of times. He spoiled us rotten.
Most of all, he taught us—the kids—how important it is to love and respect one another. To take care of each other. To have each other’s backs and support each other, no matter what.
And we did just that.I miss your voice. I miss your laugh. I miss your brilliance.
Wherever you are, I hope someone is asking, “Where are the kids?”
Along with her message, Jennifer also shared several photos of James throughout the years.
Jennifer‘s message comes after Will & Grace stars Eric McCormack and Debra Messing also both paid tribute to James Burrows.
