A professional actor since his teens, Perry had appeared in more than a dozen sitcoms before landing “Friends” in 1994.
Mostly it advertised Perry and his anxious, reckless charm.
Even among the irrepressible talents of his co-stars, Perry stood out, for a rubbery, heedless way with physical comedy and a split-second timing that most stopwatches would envy.
He had both an absolute commitment to what a line required and a way of gently ironizing that line.
Perry was in on those same jokes.
