☆ Matthew Perry Was One of TV’s Best Sparring Partners

TV flags are flying at half-staff today, with the news that Matthew Perry died on Saturday. The show’s continuing ubiquity makes Perry’s death more galling somehow — don’t certain stars achieve immortality through streaming and syndication? Perry was not the kind of actor who disappeared into a role but rather where the role disappeared into him. This is never more clear than in “The West Wing,” where Perry appears in three episodes as Joe Quincy, a clever lawyer. His arc on “West Wing” aired right around the same time as the final few episodes of “Friends,” and it modeled the kind of role we’d frequently see him in after Chandler: a fascinating, intelligent, perhaps lovable adversary.

But it was too late: Chandler-speak had permeated the culture in America and beyond.

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.
