Matthew Perry is the only FRIENDS actor I've known who actually wanted the show to just continue and not end even after 10 seasons. Most of his interviews, he's asked about the reunion and he just tells them that he wanted the show to go on. Love that guy. Miss Chanandler Bong
+feelmee12 well considering that Jim Parson's show Big Bang Theory is in its 9th season and is contracted already for at least 2 more. you may want to eat your words
@Jan I don't think so. The entire cast had been *worn* out by the massive amounts of publicity and the level of fame and pressure that went along with the success of all actors on the show. The invasion in their private and public life was huge. Take for example, everybody basically knew the *addiction* troubles Matthew Perry went through at the time. Seeing him gain and lose weight back and forth heavily. Scrutiny and praise went for all the six actors. Everybody in 2004 agreed that the moment had come to end the show while it was still good and people had the opportunity to remember it on a positive note. Bearing in mind the huge backlash that followed the universally panned Rachel and Joey fling in season nine and ten earlier. Basically saying that we had run out of good ideas, momentum and character growth. Perhaps NBC also wanted to take the show into directions the cast members and the creators didn't agree with. So, without trying to make the relationship of Rachel and Ross even more ridiculous as it was at the time, it was best to make an end to the show the way it did at that time.
@Bansenshukai9 That was a great line indeed. However, it's difficult to assert it was his greatest, because he had so many. Another line that is simply brilliant happens after Chandler's character finds out that Ross' slept with another woman whilst he and Rachel's were broken up: _"The most important question is, how dumb are you?"_ The one against Monica too, concerning the episode with Prom Video: _"So how many camera's were there actually on you?"_
Very interesting at 3:16 when Matthew talks about his acting. It's exactly why I consider him a GREAT actor. In real life we are almost always a mix of feelings and not just only one, and our behaviour comes out slightly nuanced and contradictory. Amazing actor
Gosh. miss him. Love this. It's like it was just yesterday...but it wasn't...& after 'go on' was cancelled (i liked it) he relapsed. He was lonely & out of work again. that pretty much spiraled him down for yrs, basically to death. If you read his book & see his interviews its like he lost hope romantically & work wise and imho his body/organs were just too beaten up to keep enduring relapses in his 40s onward💔. he looked great here & was sober. If only something had kept him from spiraling down. He could've been healthier than he ended up. When i see him during this time period, i love it but then, i feel nauseous bc i know what came soon after. He started looking so unwell bc he was in his addiction and then almost died...and then did.😢😢
I hate when people consider you needy when you try to get laughs constantly. We are all needy at what we are doing. The same goes here. When you are telling a joke you are expecting people to laugh.
True only matthew perry only wants to continue the friends and he said if there is a time machine he wants to go back in time. Yes, I love friends and still watching over and over again.
I love Matthew! I could marry him ❤ but somebody should tell him that he should have short hair! Like in the last seasons of friends and in The Whole Nine Yards 2! He looks soooo sexy in that way!!!- in the longer he looks old :/

+Becki Warshow Modern Family also shows no signs of slowing down so you can bet that Eric Stonestreet will be on a show just as long as Friends.
+Jan Terry Its Mrs. Chanandler Bong
Lisa said the same on interview with Matthew and there is one interview that rest agree that if that would be up to them they would continue.

He's one of the funniest actors I've ever seen. Mathew Perry=legend.
+Rev201287 if only he was not a jerk in person
+Becki Warshow you've met him?
+kris lanc yes. I met him at a couple of charity events in Los Angeles
And why was he a jerk?
Matthew Perry was a genius legend in comedy and drama. RIP. Gone way too soon.
His best line was when Janice was pregnant, "Who's the unwitting human whose essence you've stolen?" Brilliant
@Bansenshukai9 That was a great line indeed. However, it's difficult to assert it was his greatest, because he had so many.

Oh my God! Jim Parsons and |Matthew Perry in the same room! I'm in heaven!
This man has been a part of my life since I was a kid. A constant presence in a dark childhood. Thank you, Matthew. God bless you. 😇🙏

The only guy in this clip I recognize is Matthew Perry.....
I love Matthew! I could marry him ❤ but somebody should tell him that he should have short hair! Like in the last seasons of friends and in The Whole Nine Yards 2! He looks soooo sexy in that way!!!- in the longer he looks old :/
