MATTHEW PERRY;

Perhaps best-known for his Emmy-nominated role as Chandler Bing on Friends. The show, Matthew Perry was born in Williamstown, Massachussetts and raised in Ottawa, Canada. He moved to Los Angeles at the age of 15 to live with his father, actor John Bennett Perry. In addition to perfoming in several high school stage productions, he was an avid tennis player who at one point rranked seventeenth nationally in the junior singles category and third in the doubles competition. After graduating from high school, Perry intended to enroll at the University of Southern California; however, when he was offered a lead role on the televsion series Second Chance, he seized the opportunity to begin his acting career.

Perry's feature-film debut was in 1988 in Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, starring River Phoenix. In 1999 he starred with Neve Campbell, Dylan McDermott and Oliver Platt in the film Three to Tango. More recently, he has appeared in the hit comedy film The Whole Nine Yards and its considerably less successful sequel The Whole Ten Yards alongside Bruce Willis and Studio 60 costar Amanda Peet. His other feature credits include Almost Heroes, with the late Chris Farley and Eugene Levy; Fools Rush In, with Salma Hayek; and Serving Sara with Elizabeth Hurley. Perry's television credits include guest appearances in Scrubs (in an episode he directed, appearing as the son of a patient played by his real-life father John Bennett Perry), Ally McBeal, Growing Pains and The West Wing in the role of Republican lawyer Joe Quincy, for which he later received an Emmy nomination in the category of Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series. Perry continues to support and host the annual charity gala for the Lili Claire Foundation, which raises funds for those born with Williams Syndrome and other neurogenic birth defects.
