On Sunday October 29 in Australia, it was announced that actor Matthew Perry had passed away, found in his hot tub at his home in LA. 

Perry was most known and loved for playing Chandler in the iconic sitcom Friends. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at the life of this star and how being on one of the biggest tv shows of all time paled in comparison to the work he was doing offscreen.
