Matthew Perry, born August 19, 1969, in Williamstown, Massachusetts, was a beloved actor and comedian, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit television series Friends. Perry’s sharp wit, humor, and vulnerability on-screen made him one of the most memorable characters on the show, while his journey with fame, addiction, and recovery added a profound depth to his public persona. Despite his challenges, Perry became a beacon of resilience, using his experiences to advocate for addiction recovery and help those facing similar struggles.
Perry’s parents divorced when he was very young, and he moved with his mother, Suzanne, to Ottawa, Canada, where he was raised. His father, John Bennett Perry, was an actor, which inspired Matthew’s interest in acting. Growing up, Perry was an avid tennis player and nearly pursued it professionally. However, his interest in acting ultimately won out, and he moved to Los Angeles at age 15 to live with his father and pursue an entertainment career.
After several minor roles in the late 1980s and early 1990s on television shows like Charles in Charge and Growing Pains, Perry’s career took off when he was cast in Friends. Premiering in 1994, Friends quickly became a cultural phenomenon, and Chandler Bing—Perry’s sarcastic yet endearing character—was an instant fan favorite. Chandler’s witty one-liners and Perry’s impeccable comedic timing made him one of the show’s most beloved characters. Perry’s chemistry with his co-stars, especially his on-screen wife Courteney Cox, helped make Friends one of the most successful sitcoms in television history, running for ten seasons and solidifying Perry’s status as a major star.
