Could he be something more memorable?
As Chandler Bing, Matthew Perry brought dry humor friends, often at the expense of his character. Beleaguered Bing went through jobs and relationships, but found a happy ending when the series ended with his wife Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) and their twins.
In his memoirs from 2022. Friends, lovers, and the great terrible thing, Perry has written about how his own unique way of speaking influenced his role as Chandler.
“I read the words in an unexpected way, putting accents that no one else guessed,” he wrote Deadline. “I was in Ottawa with my childhood friends the Murrays; I laughed like no one else.”
“It was like someone had been following me for a year, stealing my jokes, copying my mannerisms, photocopying my world-weary but witty outlook on life,” he continued, reading Friends the script. “I didn’t think I could play ‘Chandler’; I was Chandler.”
