; the 2004
finale
reached more than 52 million viewers in the US, making it the most watched TV
episode
of the 2000s.

“People come up to me every day and say, ‘Hey Chandler!’ I don’t
respond to
it,” he said in a 2014 interview. “If somebody says, ‘Hi Matthew, I love your work’, that’s one thing. But if somebody goes ‘Yo, Chandler’, I don’t like that. I’m tired of it. I’m not Chandler.”

"每天都有人跑来对我说，'嘿，钱德勒！'。我不会回应，"他在 2014 年的一次采访中说。"如果有人说'嗨，马修，我喜欢你的作品'，那是一回事。但如果有人说'哟，钱德勒'，我就不喜欢了。我受够了。我不是钱德勒。


Born in Massachusetts in 1969
to an American father and a Canadian mother, Perry grew up in Canada as his mother worked as a press aide to Canadian prime minister Pierre Trudeau. In his bestselling 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, Perry recalled acting up after his father abandoned his family to chase his own dreams of becoming an actor – including bullying a young Justin Trudeau. “I decided to end my argument with him when he was put in charge of
an entire army,” he wrote.

At 15 Perry moved to Hollywood,
with the hope of reconnecting with his father. It was there he began to enjoy acting, and was eventually spotted at a diner, “charming a bunch of
young women”, by director William Richert, who left a note asking him to be in his next movie, A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, alongside River Phoenix.

15 岁时，佩里搬到了好莱坞，希望能与父亲重修旧好。在那里，他开始喜欢上了表演，并最终在一家小餐馆 "迷倒了一群年轻女人"，被导演威廉-里切特（William Richert）看中，留下字条邀请他出演下一部电影《吉米·里尔登的一夜人生》，与里弗·菲尼克斯（电影《小丑》的扮演者）搭档。


Perry was 24 when he started playing Chandler and was
relatively
unknown, just like his co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer; Courteney Cox was known for her role in
Family Ties
. In a 2019 interview, Friends co-creator David Crane said Chandler was the most difficult character to
cast
, with actors Craig Bierko, Jon Cryer and Jon Favreau also considered for the role.

there you go
. Done. Done. That’s the guy.’”

suffered severe anxiety
“every night” while filming the show and said he felt nothing when the show ended.
