"Without that thing he did that made him famous he wouldn't be famous" is a ridiculous thing to say. He was a big part of peoples' experiences for 10 years. People are allowed to be sad that he is gone. What were you trying to accomplish with this? That people who care would suddenly agree with you? Just stay out of the thread if you don't care about the subject; it isn't that difficult.

I mean I'm sad a human died but he was a crappy actor who was kind of in the right place at the right time for the friends gig.... I can't say his entire body of work will be well remembered and people will soon forget who he was in less than a decade

Matthew was undeniably handsome and talented.
It's sad people don't have more compassion about traumas/diagnoses not in their realm of experience/life tapestry.
I saw him in a Lifetime movie before Friends. Deadly Relations, based on a true story. Gwyneth was in it, also. He did a Great job though in a smaller role.
I liked the sitcoms he did after Friends. Networks never give shows like these a chance to catch on, but keep producing disgusting and stupid reality shows.

Geez internet stranger you are so right. He lived this prolific career on one single sitcom that he barely remembers being in and we should all morn that.

NP. Why don’t you exit this thread if you don’t think people should “morn” [sic] Matthew Perry?

Illegal drugs were not suspected. That's just the process for the preliminary tox screen, followed by the more in-depth one. He had a number of prescription drugs on hand. The likely culprit, some mix that wasn't good with heat and possible dehydration.


There didn’t need to be any drug interaction or action to cause his death.

A middle aged man with a weakened heart, fresh off a fatiguing two hour pickle ball session, enters a hot tub which has the known effect of causing lowered blood pressure and increased heart rate. A hot tub mixed with dehydrated body (two hours working out) and weakened addict heart is a clear recipe for cardiac arrest and drowning.

As I type this I’m sick at heart that this is, of course, the big question and obsession of so many people right now. Personally I hope he was sober but I’m sure he has some therapeutic levels of various stuff and some people will see that as the reason even if not.

I just wish he had been careful about his recovering body and using the tub. He should have always had his assistant or some other person in attendance while using the tub.

I hope some of the middle aged people with possible heart disease (many of us have some degree of it by midlife without even knowing it) reading about his death will reconsider using their own tubs solo because this is not a rare occurrence, it is very easy to pass out from the cardiovascular effects of hot tub immersion and then drowning is very easy from there.


Do you play pickleball pp? I do and I can tell you it isnt that taxing!


Yeah, and how long did you spend on ECMO? He was lucky to be alive given what his heart had already been through.


No because I'm not an addict. Look I'm almost finished reading his book and he does not come off looking well. Let's face it he was a total narcissist..blaming everyone for his mistakes and treating his family/ girlfriends/friends really poorly. He even admits it!

Sorry he wasted his life.


He entertained millions in a career that spanned decades, and published a highly successful memoir aimed at helping people suffering from addiction. To say he “wasted his life” is objectively false and stupid.


Ah yes but, he treated people in real life horribly including his family and his many girlfriends whom he cheated on! He had no moral compass and blamed others for his addictions. Sure he was a good actor but, that does not make him a good person! He wasted his life because when he wasn't filming he was DRUNK or HIGH. He was constantly contacting drug dealers and trying to get high. Then his time was spent in rehab.

He was always drunk or high. How is that not wasting his life? He admitted that people stood by him in rehab and spent five months sitting with him while in the hospital ( after his colon exploded) And how did he thank them? He didn't!

You should read the book. He is a massive narcissist and a big loser.


Didn’t he claim in his memoir at times he was hungover or high on set?

Also said his only Emmy nomination for the show came the year he was in rehab, driven to/from work.

And yet he claims the alcohol/drugs didn’t affect his work. Really? Pretty obvious it did.


Ask how many seasons that “Friends” fans enjoyed the character of Chandler, and the show’s writing, which Perry was the only cast mate assisted with. I think you’ll find the answer is all 10, Emmy nods or no Emmy nods.

For 10 years, he portrayed one of the most memorable and enjoyable characters on television, beloved by millions. That’s all.


I actually did not the character after the changes Matthew request of Chandler. No more vest sweaters and no more BE phrases. I actually think Chandler became boring with the Mondler storyline. I always liked the other characters much more than Chandler.And


But you kept on watching. So there’s that.


When it originally aired in 1994 I lost interest soon after Mondler and Vegas. Mondler was boring and yes/no with Ross and Rachel got very old. Back then I only watched the big episodes, wedding, baby, end. I have seen all the episodes since then mostly because they were on TBS when the news came on and I didn’t want to watch the sad news anymore.


New poster: so you did watch all the episodes. If I dislike a show, I don’t watch it. You didn’t need that channel on before the news and, if you wanted an alternative to sad news or friends, your remote could have helped. You watched them bc you wanted to.


4PM to 7PM all news, not many comedies running and I watched all of them 20 years after they started.

Can we focus on the important things here, please? Have we heard anything about who has his dog? What has become of poor Alfred Doodle?

That would be appropriate for the Emmys, I guess. But everything about the other cast members has been pulling teeth trying to get them to pretend there was this big happy camaraderie for the last 25 years. I don't think it's fair at all to make them walking through these steps that paint them as some forever unit. I'm sure they loved and cared about Matthew Perry, but he was a raging addict since the show started and at some point it sounds like they all gave him a wide, wide berth.

I’ll be sure to complain to my autocorrect based on your self righteousness.
