  Matthew Perry is going to be missed by so many people and I know that the cast of friends and the crew are going to also miss them as well. I know they’re gonna miss his sense of humour because it’s like I’ve seen in these videos and the memory of Matthew that he had his way of making people laugh. Even on set an office that I can see that he was a great actor and he will never be forgotten.

  Chandler was always my favorite character on ‘Friends.’ Having watched the series more than 40 times from start to finish, it holds a special place in my heart. It wasn’t just a show to me; it was my stepping stone to learning English and, over the past 13 years, the characters became like family. Whether I was eating alone or simply spending time by myself, tuning in made me feel as if I was right there in Central Perk with them. But today, I found myself unable to watch an episode. The heartwarming joy I associated with ‘Friends’ has been overshadowed by the heartbreaking news of Matthew Perry’s passing. As we navigate our mid-thirties and beyond, it’s a somber reminder that we must cherish the moments and the people who touch our lives. Rest in peace, Matthew. Thank you for being there for me, even if only through a screen.

  He had such a brilliant delivery and timing, just how he used his hands, body and facial expression. The best comedy actor of Friends imo. I've battled addiction myself for 20 years ( mostly opiates) and it always saddens me to see people die because of it. Addiction is such a bitch. I had a tough time in my teens. We had to move from one place to another every 6 months because dad had gambling addiction, went bankrupt and we lost our house. Then he got a serious heart attack and couldn't work which broke him and he started drinking heavily. All these changings of schools didn't help either and I got bullied at one of the high school. Mom was in shock after everything and she and dad were suicidal. She spent the days on the couch strung out like a zombie on heavy psych medication, always lying in the same position. She would even end up sleeping there and being in the same position all the time ended up having effect on her ribs and lung so she had to go to the hospital for that. The home was just filled with so much sadness. At this time Friends was at its height and such a shining light for me. For a moment it made me forget. I loved Chandler and repeated his jokes endlessly to mom just to get a smile from her. When I succeded it meant EVERYTHING to me. I felt I could make her happy again. Addiction is a nightmare to deal with. It developes into this big greedy monster who is always hungry and feeds on your self worth, soul and body often leaving you as a shell of a man you used to be.

  The cast of Friends helped me during my stay at the hospital 2yrs ago. I would watch episodes when I was down and needed a good laugh.  Thank you Matthew Perry and Rest In Peace.
