Matthew Perry, the beloved actor known for his portrayal of Chandler Bing in the iconic Friends sitcom, breathed his last on October 28. His embodiment of the sharp-witted actor and seamless punch lines was something that Perry resonated with himself in real life, even writing some of Chandler’s most iconic dialogues himself. His passing surely is a heartbreaking moment for his millions of fans, who would no longer be able to witness his magic on the screen.

As the world mourns the passing of the Emmy-nominated actor, his industry colleagues and close friends have expressed their condolences.
