'Friends' Cast Status Report
Matthew Perry
Judging by Perry’s post-Friends résumé, the actor has taken virtually whatever he could get--which hasn’t been all bad. The good: NBC’s cancelled but underrated Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and a 2004 episode of Scrubs that Perry starred in and directed; the bad: TNT’s Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated but extra-cheesy TV movie The Ron Clark Story; and the ugly: straight-to-DVD flick Numb, which was shot in ’06 but not released until last month. Ouch. But smoother times lie ahead for Perry’s big-screen career, especially with next year’s Big-esque comedy 17 Again.
