Matthew Perry, renowned for his role as Chandler Bing on the beloved TV series ‘Friends’, was found dead at his Los Angeles home at the age of 54.
Perry was best known for his portrayal of the wise-cracking Chandler Bing on the wildly popular “Friends,” which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004.
“Friends” followed the lives of six New Yorkers navigating adult life, dating, and careers. It was a mainstay of NBC’s much-vaunted 1990s and early 2000s television lineup, and drew a massive global following.
During the height of his success, Perry battled for years with addiction to painkillers and alcohol, and attended rehabilitation clinics on multiple occasions.
Perry experienced health problems including a burst colon in 2018 due to his drug usage, which required multiple surgeries and the use of a colostomy bag for months after.
