Career
Perry went from Ottawa to Los Angeles to pursue acting and attended The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, graduating in 1987. Although still in high school, he concentrated on improvisational comedy at the Los Angeles Connection in Sherman Oaks.
In the television series Second Chance, Chazz Russell replaced him. Boys Will Be Boys became Second Chance after 13 episodes, with the plots refocused on Chazz and his friends. Perry stayed in Los Angeles and made his film debut in 1988 film A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon. Perry's father Sandy, who died in the hospital after a drunk driving crash in 1989, had a three-episode arc on the show Growing Pains.
Perry appeared on the 1990 CBS sitcom Sydney as the younger brother of Valerie Bertinelli's title character, amid his numerous on-going guest appearances on television. Roger Azarian appeared as Roger Azarian on Beverly Hills, 90210, in 1991. Perry landed his first television appearance on the ABC sitcom Home Free, which aired only 11 episodes in 1993, followed by a sitcom pilot named LAX 2194.
Marta Kauffman and David Crane, both of whom had worked with Dream On, attempted to get an audition for the pilot Six of One, which later became known as Friends. However, he was not accepted for an audition due to previous commitments to the pilot LAX 2194. Chandler Bing appeared in a reading when he finally did get one. He was the youngest of the main cast members.
Friends was immensely popular, and Perry and his co-stars were international stars, something Perry had long aspired for. In 2002, he wrote "I had steam coming out of my ears; I wanted to be famous so badly." "You want the attention, you want the money, and you want the best seat in the restaurant." Perry and the rest of the six-member main cast ensemble were each earning $1 million per episode by 2002, owing to the show's huge success. Matt LeBlanc and Joe Gibbs were named in 2002 as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, but the pair lost to Ray Romano. Perry appeared in films including Fools Rush In (alongside father John Bennett Perry and Salma Hayek), Almost Heroes, Three to Tango, The Whole Nine Yards (alongside Bruce Willis) and Serving Sara.
Perry, although best known for his comedies, has also excelled in his portrayal of Associate White House Counsel Joe Quincy in Aaron Sorkin's The West Wing. In 2003 and 2004, he received two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. In the episode "20 Hours in Los Angeles," Perry is referred to in the show prior to his guest appearance – Donna Moss seeks him out (off-screen). Todd Merrick appeared in two episodes near the end of Ally McBeal's five-season run, including a two-hour special that was designed to revive the legal comedy-drama.
Perry made his directorial debut in an episode of the American comedy-drama Scrubs, in which he also appeared on "Murray Marks," a small airport's traffic control team. Murray is asked to donate a kidney to his father Gregory (played by Perry's true father).
He appeared in the TNT film The Ron Clark Story, also known as "The Triumph," which premiered on August 13, 2006. Ron Clark, a small-town instructor who moved to the country's toughest class, moved to Perry. Perry was given a Golden Globe nomination as well as an Emmy award for his work.
Perry appeared in Aaron Sorkin's drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip from 2006 to 2007. Perry appeared Matt Albie alongside Bradley Whitford's Danny Tripp, a writer-director pair who came to assist in salvaging a dying sketch show. Perry's reputation was thought to be largely based on Sorkin's personal experiences, particularly in television.
He began filming Numb, a film based on a man suffering from depersonalization disorder in 2006. The film's tentative release date was postponed several times, but it was eventually released to DVD on May 13, 2008. He appeared in David Mamet's Sexual Perversion in Chicago in London. He appeared in the film 17 Again in 2009 portraying the older Mike O'Donnell. Perry appeared in the offbeat film Birds of America as Morrie Tanager, an uptight man who has to cope with his siblings. The End of Steve, a dark comedy starring Perry and Peter Tolan, was shown on showtime.
Mr. Sunshine, Perry's latest comedy pilot, was purchased by ABC, based on Perry's original plan for the program. Perry was supposed to portray a middle-aged man with an identity crisis. After nine episodes, ABC cancelled the series.

After the 2012 Summer Olympics, the pilot appeared on August 8, 2012, as a "sneak preview." On September 11, 2012, the series debuted on September 11, 2012. NBC ordered a full season of 22 episodes on October 2, 2012. Go On was cancelled by NBC in May 2013, only after the first season had ended.

Matthew Perry’s Ex Claims He DATED Charlie Sheen’s Ex Brooke Mueller, Who Was Questioned In Friends Star's Death!
Talk about a plot twist here!
Since last year, the Los Angeles Police Department has been trying to figure out how Matthew Perry got the ketamine that killed him. As we previously reported, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office blamed “the acute effects” of the drug as the cause for the heart attack he had in the hot tub. He was undergoing ketamine therapy to treat depression and was closely monitored by medical professionals at the time. However, his last infusion therapy was a week and a half before his death – which means that it did not cause the cardiac arrest “since ketamine’s half-life is 3 to 4 hours or less.” So, the actor must have got the drug from somewhere else. It also meant that he was not 100 percent sober as we all thought!
