Matthew Langford Perry (August 19, 1969 – October 28, 2023) was an American-Canadian actor, comedian, and producer. He gained international recognition in the 1990s for playing Chandler Bing on the NBC television sitcom Friends (1994–2004), for which he earned a Screen Actors Guild Award.[1][2]

In addition to starring in the short-lived television series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Perry appeared in various films, including Fools Rush In, Almost Heroes, The Whole Nine Yards, The Whole Ten Yards, The Ron Clark Story, and 17 Again.[3] In 2010, he worked in both voice-over and video games doing the voice of Benny in the video game Fallout: New Vegas.[4]

Perry was co-creator, co-writer, executive producer, and star of the ABC sitcom Mr. Sunshine, which ran from February to April 2011.[5] In August 2012, Perry began starring as Ryan King, a sportscaster, on the NBC sitcom Go On. The series was cancelled on May 10, 2013.[6] Perry co-developed and starred in a revival of the CBS sitcom The Odd Couple portraying Oscar Madison from 2015 to 2017.[7]

Early life

Perry was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, on August 19, 1969.[8] His mother, Suzanne Marie Morrison (née Langford, born 1948),[9] is a Canadian journalist who served as press secretary to former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. His father, John Bennett Perry (born 1941), is an American actor and former model.[10][11]

His parents divorced before his first birthday and his mother married Canadian-born broadcast journalist Keith Morrison. He was raised by his mother mostly in Ottawa, Ontario, but he also lived briefly in Toronto and Montreal.[12] He was educated at both the Rockcliffe Park Public School, alongside future Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and at Ashbury College.[13][14] While growing up, he took a keen interest in tennis and became a top-ranked junior player.[10][15]

Career

When he was 15, Perry moved from Ottawa to Los Angeles to live with his father. Abandoning the idea of a career as a professional tennis player, he decided to pursue acting.[16] He attended The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, graduating in 1987.[15][17] He pursued improvisational comedy at the LA Connection in Sherman Oaks while still in high school.[18]

After graduating, Perry took the role of Chazz Russell in the TV series Second Chance. After 13 episodes, Second Chance became Boys Will Be Boys, with the plots refocused on the adventures of Chazz and his friends. After the show's single season, Perry stayed in Los Angeles and made his screen debut in the 1988 film A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon.[19] In 1989, Perry had a three-episode arc on the series Growing Pains, in which he portrayed Carol Seaver's boyfriend Sandy who dies in hospital after a drunk-driving crash.[19]

Perry was cast as a regular on the 1990 CBS sitcom Sydney, playing the younger brother of Valerie Bertinelli's title character.[citation needed] In 1991, he made a guest appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210 as Roger Azarian.[20] Perry landed his next TV starring role on the ABC sitcom Home Free, which aired only 11 episodes in the spring of 1993,[citation needed] followed by a sitcom pilot titled LAX 2194.[21]

He attempted to secure an audition for the pilot Six of One, later to be known as Friends, by Marta Kauffman and David Crane, both of whom he had worked with on Dream On. However, because he had previous commitments to the pilot LAX 2194, he was not initially considered for an audition. When he eventually got a reading, he landed the part of Chandler Bing. He was the youngest member of the main cast at age 24.[19]

Perry smoking in 2007

Friends was hugely successful, and Perry, along with his co-stars, became an international celebrity – something Perry had long hoped for. "There was steam coming out of my ears, I wanted to be famous so badly," he told The New York Times in 2002. "You want the attention, you want the bucks, and you want the best seat in the restaurant."[22] Due to the immense popularity of the sitcom, Perry and the rest of the six-member main cast ensemble were each making $1 million per episode by 2002.[23] The program earned him an Emmy nomination in 2002 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series,[24] along with Matt LeBlanc, but the award went to Ray Romano. Perry appeared in films such as Fools Rush In (alongside father John Bennett Perry and Salma Hayek), Almost Heroes, Three to Tango, The Whole Nine Yards (alongside Bruce Willis) and its sequel The Whole Ten Yards, and Serving Sara.[19]

While known primarily for his comic roles, Perry carved out a career in drama as well, particularly in his portrayal of Associate White House Counsel Joe Quincy in Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing. His three appearances in that series (twice in the fourth season and once in the fifth) earned him two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series in 2003 and 2004.[24] He also appeared as attorney Todd Merrick in two episodes near the end of Ally McBeal's five-season run, including a two-hour special intended to revive the legal comedy-drama.[19]

After Friends wrapped up, Perry made his directorial debut in an episode of the 4th season of the American comedy-drama Scrubs, in which he also guest starred as "Murray Marks", an operator of a small airport's traffic control team. Murray is asked to donate a kidney to his father Gregory (played by Perry's real father).[19]

He starred in the TNT movie The Ron Clark Story, also known as "The Triumph," which premiered August 13, 2006. Perry played small-town teacher Ron Clark, who relocates to the toughest class in the country.[25][26] Perry received a Golden Globe nomination[27] as well as an Emmy nomination for his performance.[24]

From 2006 to 2007, Perry appeared in Aaron Sorkin's drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Perry played Matt Albie alongside Bradley Whitford's Danny Tripp, a writer-director duo brought in to help save a failing sketch show. Perry's character was considered to be substantially based on Sorkin's own personal experiences, particularly in television.[28]

Perry in 2010

In 2006, he began filming Numb, a film based on a man suffering from depersonalization disorder. The film's tentative release date was pushed back several times, but was finally released to DVD on May 13, 2008. He also appeared on stage in David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago in London.[29] In 2008, Perry starred in the offbeat film Birds of America as Morrie Tanager, an uptight man who has to deal with his siblings.[citation needed] Showtime passed on a pilot called The End of Steve, a dark comedy starring, written and produced by Perry and Peter Tolan.[30] In 2009, he starred in the film 17 Again playing the older Mike O'Donnell.[31]

Perry's new comedy pilot, Mr. Sunshine, based on Perry's original idea for the show, was bought by ABC.[32][33] Perry was set to portray a middle-aged man with an identity crisis.[34] ABC cancelled the series after nine episodes.[35][36]

On March 1, 2012, it was reported that Perry had signed on to star on the NBC comedy pilot Go On, written and produced by former Friends writer/producer Scott Silveri.[37] The project was picked up to series in May 2012. Perry portrayed Ryan King, a sportscaster who tries to move on after the death of his wife through the help of mandatory therapy sessions. The pilot aired on August 8, 2012, as a "sneak preview" after the 2012 Summer Olympics.[38] The series premiered on September 11, 2012.[39] On October 2, 2012, NBC ordered a full season of 22 episodes.[40] NBC cancelled Go On in May 2013, shortly after the conclusion of its first season.[41]

In 2012, Perry guest-starred on the CBS drama The Good Wife, as attorney Mike Kresteva. In 2013, he reprised his role in the fourth season.[42]

Perry in 2013

In 2014, Perry made his British TV debut in the one-off comedy program The Dog Thrower, which aired on May 1 as part of Sky Arts' Playhouse Presents. Perry portrayed "a charismatic man" who enchanted onlookers by throwing his dog in the air.[43] From 2015 to 2017, Perry starred in, co-wrote, and served as executive producer of a revival of the sitcom The Odd Couple on CBS. Perry played Oscar Madison opposite Thomas Lennon as Felix Unger.[7][44]

Perry played the lead role in the world premiere production of his play The End of Longing, which opened on February 11, 2016, at the Playhouse Theatre in London.[45] The play transferred to Off-Broadway, opening at the Lucille Lortel Theatre on June 5, 2017, with Jennifer Morrison. It closed on July 1 after receiving poor reviews.[46]

In March 2017, Perry again reprised his role as attorney Mike Kresteva, in The Good Fight, a sequel show to the CBS drama The Good Wife.[47]

Later in 2017, he starred as Ted Kennedy in the mini-series The Kennedys: After Camelot.[48][49]

In 2018, Business Insider reported Perry's net worth to be around $80 million.[50]

In October 2022, Perry published a memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. It became a bestseller on both Amazon and The New York Times charts.[51][52]

Personal life

Perry talking about the National Drug Control Policy program in 2012

Perry held Canadian and American citizenships. He dated Yasmine Bleeth in 1995, Julia Roberts from 1995 to 1996, and Lizzy Caplan from 2006 to 2012.[53][54][55]

In 2009, Perry was a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he presented Ellen DeGeneres with a Xbox 360 system and a copy of the video game Fallout 3. The gesture led to game studio Obsidian Entertainment casting him in Fallout: New Vegas.[56]

In 2018, Perry spent five months in a hospital for a gastrointestinal perforation. During the hospital stay, Perry nearly died after his colon burst from opioid abuse. He spent two weeks in a coma and used a colostomy bag for nine months. Upon being admitted to the hospital, doctors told Perry's family that Perry had a two percent chance of survival. He was connected to an ECMO (Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine, which breathed for him.[57]

In November 2020, Perry became engaged to literary manager Molly Hurwitz. The couple ended their engagement in 2021.[58]

Addiction struggles

Perry became addicted to Vicodin after a jet-ski accident in 1997, and completed a 28-day rehab program that year.[59] His weight fluctuated over the next few years, dropping to 145 pounds (66 kg) due to pancreatitis.[60] He entered rehab in February 2001 for an addiction to Vicodin, methadone, amphetamines, and alcohol.[61][62] While filming Serving Sara in Texas, he suffered severe stomach pains and flew to Los Angeles to check into Marina del Rey's Daniel Freeman Hospital. Perry later estimated he had spent $9 million to get sober.[63] He revealed that due to his addiction issues, he did not remember three years of the time he was acting on Friends, between seasons three and six.[64]

In 2011, Perry lobbied Congress as a celebrity spokesperson for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals in support of funding for drug courts.[65] Perry received a Champion of Recovery award in May 2013 from the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy for opening Perry House, a sober living home in his former mansion in Malibu, California.[66][67] Perry relocated the rehab center in 2015.[68]

Death

Perry died on October 28, 2023, at age 54 from an apparent drowning in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home.[69]
