Matthew Perry’s famous family includes true crime journalist Keith Morrison, actor who appeared in ‘Friends’

'Friends' star Matthew Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home yesterday from an apparent drowning, Fox News Digital confirmed. The actor was 54. While tributes pour in from famous friends and costars, it's worth noting that Perry also had some industry connections a bit closer to home, including his father, actor John Bennett Perry who appeared alongside his son in his film 'Fools Rush In,' and his stepfather, true crime icon Keith Morrison.

In 1981, Perry's mother married fellow journalist Keith Morrison, who went on to become known for his work in true crime reporting, most notably on 'Dateline.' The two have four children together. In 2020, Morrison spoke highly of Perry to People, saying, 'He's one of those people who always is the center of the room for a reason and it was so as a kid. On the hockey team, I used to take him off to his hockey games on Saturday mornings.
