The 'Friends' actor passed away on Saturday afternoon at his home in Los Angeles, California.
podcast, the actor who portrayed Chandler Bing for 10 years said he would like to be known not just -- or even firstly -- for his work on the Emmy-winning NBC show, but for who he was as a person.
"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," Perry said."And I've said this for a long time: when I die, I don't want to be the first thing that's mentioned. And I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that."
Throughout the years that he battled addiction, Perry endured a bout with pneumonia, an exploded colon, two weeks in a coma, nine months with a colostomy bag, and more than a dozen stomach surgeries, he told the Times in an October 2022 interview.
