Matthew Perry is primarily known for playing Chandler Bing, the most sarcastic member of the core group of characters on “Friends.” The sharp-witted friend was key to some of the show’s most memorable moments, including when he proposed to Monica Gellar (Courteney Cox), further establishing the pair as a beloved sitcom couple.

Of course, Perry had a noteworthy career outside of “Friends” as well. He starred alongside Bruce Willis in the hit comedy “The Whole Nine Yards,” as well as its sequel, “The Whole Ten Yards,” in which he plays a dentist who gets entangled with a hitman. However, fans of teen movies might associate him with “17 Again,” which saw him team up with Zac Efron and play the older version of a guy who gets to relive his final year of high school.

Elsewhere, Perry received Primetime Emmy Award nominations for his roles on “The West Wing” and “The Ron Clark Story.” His other small-screen credits include “Ally McBeal” and “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” a short-lived comedy series from Aaron Sorkin that bears some similarities to “30 Rock” as they both take place in the world of late-night comedy.

Perry was also a known philanthropist who supported several charitable causes. As documented by The Independent, he founded Perry House to help recovering addicts get back on their feet. In 2015, he was awarded by Phoenix House, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program, for his efforts in helping others. Perry’s legacy is that of someone who entertained fans with his on-screen roles and used his platform to aid people and worthwhile causes, and he’ll be sorely missed.
