Actor Matthew Perry, who was well-known for his role as the witty and sarcastic Chandler Bing on 'Friends,' said last year he wanted to be remembered for the work he did in helping people overcome their addiction struggles. 'The best thing about me, bar none, is if somebody comes up to me and says, 'I can't stop drinking, can you help me?' I can say yes and follow up and do it,' he said in a Nov. 2022 interview with Tom Power.
Perry’s memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing' detailed his struggle with alcoholism and opiates and how he fought to overcome it.
