Jennifer Garner’s Sydney Bristow may have had a fraught relationship with her two “spy dads” on Alias, Victor Garber (who played Jack Bristow) and Ron Rifkin (Arvin Sloane) but in real life they’re the best of friends and “forever playmates.”

With When Harry Met Sally turning 30 this year, the two stars struck a pose at a TCM tribute to the beloved romantic comedy. Ryan attributed some of the film’s longevity to their chemistry: “It’s the kind of music Billy and I knew how to play together,” she said during the panel.

An out-of-this-world reunion! Jason Behr, Nick Wechsler, Brendan Fehr and Majandra Delfino caught up nearly 17 years after the show’s final episode in 2002. “Turns out we still kinda like each other,” Fehr joked on Twitter. 

“I got to see these guys for lunch yesterday – it was so much fun to catch up and hear how their beautiful families are doing!” Danica McKellar wrote of her time with Fred Savage and Josh Saviano in February 2019. “And yes, @joshsaviano, I totally agree – *you guys* are like family… I mean, we DID grow up together, after all. #memories #TheWonderYears.”

Though the two often come together for Back to the Future-related events, their November 2018 appearance had special meaning: Lloyd was on hand for Fox’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s event benefitting The Michael J. Fox Foundation in N.Y.C.

Twenty-two years after The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ended its run on television, Carlton and Will were back together again — chilling out, maxing, and golfing all cool! In September 2018, Smith and Ribeiro gave Fresh Prince fans a surprise when they posted a photo together on Instagram. Smith, who pointed to his former costar and held his other arm around him, referred to Ribeiro as “one of my favorite people on this Whole Damn Rock.”

Drake is the gift that keeps on giving. First, he handed out nearly $1 million in cash to strangers, schools and grocery store patrons in Miami for his “God’s Plan” music video. Now, he’s given us the Degrassi reunion we didn’t know we’d been waiting for in his new video, “I’m Upset.”
