I’m sending love & condolences to his friends & family, especially his dad," Fairchild wrote.Another frequent “Friends” co-star, Maggie Wheeler, who played his girlfriend Janice, wrote, "The joy you brought to so many in your too short lifetime will live on. I feel very blessed by every creative moment we shared.”
Many Hollywood actors crossed paths with Perry, who had worked steadily on screen since he was a child. “We were a gang way back. We all grew up together going to the Formosa … We played dare and Matt had to say ridiculous things to girls at the bar. We just always had fun and supported each other. You would always find us all together in a booth speaking in our own made up language. And yes, Matt always had THAT sense of humor,” Doherty wrote. "I could be more poetic or say things better but right now, shock and sadness prevail.
