    Matthew Perry was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, to Suzanne Marie (Langford), a Canadian journalist, and John Bennett Perry, an American actor. His ancestry includes English, Irish, German, Swiss-German, and French-Canadian.
    Perry was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, where he became a top-ranked junior tennis player in Canada. However, after moving to Los Angeles at the age of 15 to live with his father, he became more interested in acting. In addition to performing in several high school stage productions, he remained an avid tennis player. Perry ranked 17th nationally in the junior singles category and third in the doubles category. Upon graduating from high school, Perry intended to enroll at the University of Southern California. However, when he was offered a leading role on the television series, Second Chance (1987), he seized the opportunity to begin his acting career.
    Perry appeared in the hit comedy film The Whole Nine Yards (2000), as the neighbor of a hit man, played by Bruce Willis. His other feature film credits included Fools Rush In (1997), Aren't You Even Going to Kiss Me Goodbye (1988), She's Out of Control (1989) and Parallel Lives (1994). He also co-starred with Chris Farley in the buddy comedy Almost Heroes (1998) and in the romantic comedy, Three to Tango (1999), opposite Neve Campbell. Perry resides in Los Angeles. He enjoys playing ice hockey and softball in his spare time.
    Perry soon found the perfect project with a leading role in a new sitcom about a group of young men and women in New York City. Debuting in September 1994, Friends became one of the most popular television sitcoms of all time.
    Perry played the witty and sarcastic Chandler Bing, who shared an apartment with an aspiring actor named Joey, played by Matt LeBlanc, and was a longtime friend of Ross, played by David Schwimmer. Completing the cast, Courteney Cox played Monica, Ross’ sister; Jennifer Aniston played Rachel, Monica’s roommate; and Lisa Kudrow played Phoebe, the kooky, offbeat friend to all.
    On October 28, 2023, Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub at his home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, and was later pronounced dead at the age of 54. LAPD Captain Scot Williams said the "cause of death may not be known for some time, but at this point foul play is not suspected". The following day, the cause of death was listed as "deferred" by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, pending "additional investigative steps".

      Those people are a breed of human that I could never be apart of. The most disrespectful paparazzi get the best shots. It’s a competition to see if you can be a bigger a-hole then the person next to you and then you “win” by getting a better shot. Pretty crazy stuff. They are just doing their job but it is way out of line and been that way for a long time. I believe there needs to be some sort of laws put in place but nothing can be done about filming from a public place like a sidewalk in front of the house. That would go against the first amendment.

    You absolutely did it right Scott, you always do. Some celebrities touch us in a way that's unexplainable. They just become a part of our lives. They bring us joy, happiness, good times and unforgettable memories. When we lose them it's like losing a family member. Love has no bounds and so we grow to love them like our dearest friends. Sometimes, we even get to see them through their television shows and performances more often than our closest friends or even family. Sometimes they bring us sadness too, like now. We feel the loss almost as greatly as the persons family does. We are blessed by celebrities though because of the legacy they leave behind that we can watch over and over again. I think everyone that comes across our lives leaves some kind of footprint behind. Celebrities do it in the biggest way though because they keep showing up. What a kind gesture to donate the proceeds to Matthew Perry's favorite fund. He would have loved that and it's a wonderful way to honor him. Thank you, Scott, for doing this video. I know it wasn't easy but that's what friends do for friends. I'm adding an extra donation to maybe help even a little more. Btw, I'm not sure if you're aware, but today is a special day called "The day of the dead". It's a day used to honor and celebrate the life of those who have passed, and that's exactly what you just did for Matthew Perry. May he rest in Peace ❤ 💐

We took care of him for 14 years. Losing a child is something that profoundly changes you, there is no recovering from the loss. It’s the loss of so many hopes and dreams.

    I did know Matthew personally - I worked with him on a little known movie called Numb. He had recently come out of rehab and was pretty shut down but I managed to win him over, after a couple of weeks of trying, and we shared inside jokes and chats. He was a very kind and sensitive guy with a LOT of demons. I cherish a pic we took at the end of the shoot when we’d just wrapped an all nighter in a grocery store. He wrapped his arms around me and put his cheek up against mine. In that moment was when I realized his gruff exterior on that shoot was his way of protecting himself, but behind that was a loving. kind soul. 💔

    My sincere condolances to you @ScottonTape and to all who enjoyed and admired the work Matthew Perry gifted all of us. You hit the nail right on the head about why and how it can be so upsetting/devastating/crushing when a celebrity passes that meant so much to us. I would offer an additional perspective if I may; it is also how they made you feel. Yes, there is escapism but there is always that song that got you through your first break up, loss of someone, or anything poignant that mattered to you. I was 14 when Freddie Mercury died. I'm a life long musician and Queen was my generation's Beatles. We heard the news late at night on the radio and I had been in bed listening to my Walkman when I heard. My Dad had heard on his radio at the same time. I cried myself to sleep on my Dad's lap at the age of 14. I am still saddened when I think of his horrible death and the music never written or shared. I'm sure there are some Matthew Perry fans who feel the same way. This is normal to feel this way when someone made you feel the way they did and were there during the good times and the bad. To those who are feeling hit hard, you have come to the right place. Scott's people have the same heart when it comes to people that mattered to each other. You did a good job, Scott. You always do. Don't second guess yourself. Thanks, love, and praise from Peterborough Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 ♥️

Chandler and Joey were the reason I fell in love with the show. Unfortunately last year I lost her to cancer and haven’t been able to watch it since but I know one day I will again because it was “our show” to watch together forever.

    As a surgical nurse, I know it probably felt too soon, but trust me, it wasn’t. You displayed an honor for Matthew Perry throughout. One of my favorite videos you have posted. Well done my friend.

    Thank you Scott for doing this video, it is so utterly respectful! People indeed need a place to mourn.
    The passing of Matthew Perry is so sad 😢 Especially having read his book, his untimely death is so tragic. He was so hopeful and seemed to be on a really good way.
    I was so shocked to hear the sad news. In the last few days, I watched a whole lot of videos and interviews with Matthew on UA-cam, which was kind of comforting. But strangely, watching an episode of Friends is simply too hard for me at the moment. It will definitely never be the same again…
    RIP Matthew Perry 🖤

If anyone deserves to rest in peace, it’s Matty. His struggles are now over and I’m so happy for him. Heartbroken that WE no longer have him though…he was definitely one of a kind…blessed be sweetheart ❤

I agree that people have a right to mourn as people like Matthew have been in much of our lives and it’s a great loss. I also agree that both Matthew and George Michael are the two people I’ve mourned greatest outside of my family.

I mean going straight to the family. They're suffering with grief. You're a great humanitarian Scott. We love you. You do have alot of respect for people. You honor their memories n how they made us feel.

    @Beatlebaby4 7 місяців тому +13

    I have cried on and off for the past 5 days since hearing the devastating news of Matthew's passing. Even though we didn't know him personally, we feel like we did. Friends is one of my all time favourite shows and it was my Mom's favourite show and she passed from cancer 3 weeks before the finale. She just wanted to live long enough to see the final show of Friends. My daughters are now huge Friends fans as well and we do Friends marathons at the cottage. There have been a few celebrity deaths that have hit me hard, John Lennon, George Harrison and a few others that have touched my soul and now Matthew's passing is one of the deaths that I think will affect me for many years to come. You did a great job Scott. You were extremely respectful and spoke for all of us. From one Torontian to another, well done xo

    You did a great job in honoring Matthew. I felt for his family, there were so many photographers close to the parent car when his parents and stepdad were getting to the house. Very disrespectful. I know it's their job but it was upsetting to see. His life ended way too soon. He overcame so much already. I wished he could have seen his foundation flourish. May you have peace mattman ❤

  • @julieconley4562
    @julieconley4562 7 місяців тому +6

    Thank you SO MUCH for doing this video! I’m still in shock and maybe even denial about his death, I’m a huge fan of friends and I essentially grew up with them, it started when I was about 5 or 6 and they’ve gotten me through some extremely hard times, it’s so reassuring to hear that you’re not weird or not crazy for taking his death so hard, people have been telling me that for days that all my feelings are normal because we as his fans feel like we knew him and we all feel like we personally lost a best friend, thank you for donating to an organization on behalf of your viewers and in his name, giving back and helping those find sobriety was so important to him and it became his life’s work and his purpose, and I hope he found peace and found his life’s purpose RIP Matthew Perry we all love you! Could we BE anymore heartbroken

    I knew a guy, a great dad, that was working on his pond in his Bobcat, he got to a step angle and fell out and was knocked out after hitting his head and ended up drowning in the pond. Death is hard and is very tragic. You were very respectful and did an awesome job. It’s still hard to believe that an actor from a show in our generation, not our parents, has passed away. Mathew was my favorite on the show and will be greatly missed.

    You did a nice job Scott. Thanks for making a space for people to come and share their thoughts and feelings around this tragedy. I really liked his portrayal in Fools Rush In and the bits I caught of that movie he did as a teacher. I think he was up there with Bill Murray with his comedy. I listened to his autobiography. It's frustrating and sad that he's gone. It reminds me of Heath Ledger's passing. May we do what we can to reflect the light he shared so it continues.

    I've been a fan of you Scott from the start of your channel. I'm 41 and have struggled with addiction since I was 25. I wasn't a super fan of Friends, but watched it on occasion. Matthew always seemed very genuine and honest about his struggles. The most important thing we as addicts have to do, is to keep fighting. I will remember Matthew for his strength and honesty in fighting addiction. He helped and inspired many actors, actresses, comedians, and creaters alike. Matthew Perry also inspired addicts such as myself to always continue to fight and that recovery is possible. Rip

    He accomplished a lot telling his story and helping others to hold on to their sobriety.
    Addiction is a painful, frightening disease and it happens more often than ever.
    Mathew did so much good work and accomplished a lot in life at a young age.
    He was a good person.
    It’s not too soon Scott.
