Matthew Perry | F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

After some time playing as a junior tennis player during his childhood to early teens, Matthew Perry eventually pursued a career in acting. With that said, his earlier works were for titles such as Second Chance, which then became Boys Will Be Boys, Growing Pains, and Sydney. Not long after, Matthew auditioned for a role that – perhaps without his knowledge – eventually became one of the most notable acting credits he has ever landed.

Thanks to his performance as Chandler Bing on the TV show Friends, Matthew earned both worldwide fame and fortune – by 2002, Matthew and his co-stars reportedly earned $1 million per episode! Although he has also dabbled in more serious projects over the years, notably in titles such as The West Wing and Ally McBeal, it sure seems like comedy still has a special place in the actor’s life. In more recent years, Matthew worked on three sitcoms: Mr. Sunshine, Go On, and The Odd Couple.
