Ha valakinek Chandlerről mesél az ember és az illető nem tudja,
hogy a három fiú közül melyikük is az, elég róla ennyi. az idióta. Erről rögötn
rájön, kiről is van szó. Matthew Perry a társaság bohóca, de valljuk be, jól áll
neki ez a szerep. Ő az életben is ilyen ember... Perry az Egyesült államokban
született, Kanada fővárosában, Ottawa-ban nőtt fel, miután szülei
elváltak. A kis Matthew szép sikereket ért el teniszben, az ország 3.
legjobb junior teniszezője volt. 15 évesen Los Angeles-be költözött, hogy az USA
teniszparadicsomában próbáljon szerencsét. Ám a színész apjával eltöltött
idő megtette hatását, Matthew 1984-ben végleg letette a
teniszütőt. Jobban érdekelte apja foglalkozása. John Bennett Perry volt a
jó illatú tengerész az Old Spice reklámokban. Matthew úgy tervezte hogy a
gimi után egyetemre megy, de közbejöttegy váratlan fordulat, melyre így
emlékszik vissza: "aznap lógtam a suliból. Másodikos voltam, és 3 lánnyal egy
étteremben ültünk és én szórakoztattam őket. Amikor egy szalvétán üzenetet
kaptam, a másik asztalnál ülő William Richert küldte, azt szerette volna hogy
játszak a filmjében. két hónappal később egy forgatáson találtam magam" Így
indul "Chandler" karrierje. Később vendégszerepelt egy rakás sorozatban, feltűnt
külnböző filmekben is. 1993-ban elkezdett írogatni, és így egy évvel
későbbelkészült Perry sorozat ötlete a Maxwell's House. hat fiatal éldegél benne
és mindenféle vicceset csinálnak.... Ismerős? Persze... Az NBC az ötletet
elvetette, mert már akkor elkezdték fejleszteni a hasonló sorozatot a
Jóbarátokat. Perryt az vigasztalta hogy ebben főszerephez jutott. A sorozat
sikeres lett Matthew pedig elvonóra került. 1998-ban rákapott a fájdalom
csillapítókra, melyet bölcsességfoga ellen szedett, majd lett egy szerencsétlen
jet-ski balesete is. Aztán azon kapta magát hogy képtelen leállni. Idán
tavasszal Perry totálkárosra törte BMW-jét, mert belerohant egy hát
teraszába.mindez akkor történt amikor 2 hete kikerült a korházból. Ekkor
gyomorbántalmak miatt feküdt bent. azt írták hogy matthew abban a pillanatban
nem állt alkohol, vagy drog hatása alatt. A szarkasztikus humorral ellátott
srácot megkenték még egy kis sármmal is, nem kevés ehhez hogy Julia Roberts volt
a barátnője. Nem kis teljesítmény egy idiótától....

15th, 1964 into an affluent Southern family. Her father Richard L Cox
(1930-2001) was a business man married to her mother Courteney. She was the baby
of the family with two older sisters (Virginia and Dottie) and an older brother
Richard Jnr. She was raised in an exclusive society town, Mountain Brook,
Alabama. Courteney was the archetypal Daddy's girl, and therefore was
understandably devastated when, in 1974 her parents divorced, and her father
moved to Florida. She became a rebellious teen, and did not
make things easy for her mother, and new step-father, New York businessman
Hunter Copeland. Now, she is great friends with both. She attended Mountain
Brook High School, where she was a cheerleader, tennis player and swimmer. In
her final year, she received her first taste of modelling. She appeared in an
advert for the store, Parisians. Upon graduation, she left Alabama to study
architecture and interior design at Mount Vernon College. After one year she
dropped out to a pursue a modelling career in New York, after being signed by
the prestigious Ford Modelling Agency. She appeared on the covers of teen
magazines such as Tiger Beat and Little Miss, plus numerous romance novels. She
then moved on to commercials for Maybeline, Noxema, New York Telephone Company
and Tampax. While modelling she attended acting classes, as
her real dream and ambition was to be an actress. In 1984 she landed herself a
small part in one episode of "As The World Turns" (1956) as a young debutante
named Bunny. Her first big break however, was being cast by Brian De Palma in
the infamous Bruce Springsteen video 'Dancing in The Dark'. In 1985 she moved to
LA to star alongside Dean Paul Martin in "Misfits of Science"(1985). It was a
flop, but a few years later she was chosen out of thousands of hopefuls to play
Michael J. Fox's girlfriend, psychology major Lauren Miller in "Family Ties"
(1982). In 1989 Family Ties ended, and Cox went through a
lean spell in her career, featuring in unmemorable movies such as Mr. Destiny
(1990) with Michael Caine. Fortunes changed dramatically for Cox, when in 1994,
she starred alongside Jim Carrey in the unexpected hit Ace Ventura: Pet
Detective (1994), and a year later she was cast as Monica Geller on the hugely
successful sitcom "Friends" (1994). It was this part that turned her into an
international superstar and led to an American Comedy Award nomination. In 1996
Cox starred in Wes Craven's horror/comedy Scream (1996). This movie grossed over
$100 million at the box office, and won Cox rave reviews for her standout
performance as the wickedly bitchy and smug TV reporter Gale Weathers. She went
on to play this character twice more, as Scream became The Scream Trilogy. Not
only did her involvement in this movie lead to critical acclaim, but it also led
to her meeting actor husband David Arquette. He played her on screen love
interest Dewey, and life imitated art as the two fell in love for real. Their
wedding took place in San Francisco, at the historic Grace Cathedral atop Nob
Hill, on June 12th, 1999. Joined by 200 guests, including Cox's film star
friends Liam Neeson and Kevin Spacey, the happy couple finally became Mr and Mrs
Arquette.
