Matthew Perry shined brightest as Matt Albie in the short-lived Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
The Big Picture As we mourn and recover from the shocking loss of Matthew Perry, revisiting his roles is a great way of remembering how extremely talented an actor he was. He will forever be remembered primarily for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends, but that's far from his best work, actually. Don't get us wrong, he really was the linchpin of that series and Chandler is a superstar.
As the story goes, Matt Albie and Danny Tripp have been friends and partners for a long time. They even worked on the in-series show Studio 60 before, but were fired due to creative differences with some of the big stars. Four years later, Jordan McDeere , the network's newly-hired President of Entertainment Programming, decides to get Albie and Tripp back, giving them free rein over the show to completely revamp it.
'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip' Allows Matthew Perry to Address His Real Issues in a Strong and Emotional Way It's no secret that Matthew Perry struggled with substance abuse throughout his life. He was very open about this subject and spoke publicly in support of those facing the same problems, turning his Malibu house into a men's sober living facility. In Friends, Perry never got to address his issues in an artistic way.
