Matthew Perry, ‘Friends’ actor, has died at the age of 54.

Matthew Perry, who portrayed Chandler Bing in the acclaimed sitcom “Friends,” has died.

The death was confirmed by Capt. Scot Williams of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide division. He said the cause of death was not likely to be determined for some time, but there was no indication of foul play.

Mr. Perry was well known to American television audiences, featuring in over 200 episodes in all 10 seasons of “Friends,” the hit NBC show that followed a group of young professionals living in Manhattan. Mr. Perry starred alongside prominent actors like Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer and Lisa Kudrow.

Mr. Perry’s character, Chandler Bing, was notable for his sardonic wit.

“Friends” has endured decades after it first aired in 1994, gaining popularity among young audiences in recent years. It ran for 10 seasons, from 1994 to 2004.

Though best known for “Friends,” Mr. Perry had a career in television that spanned nearly four decades, with his earliest credit in 1979, when he was a young child in an episode of the cop show “240-Robert,” according to IMDb. He landed the role of Chandler Bing at 24.

Perry also appeared in several other hits, including “Boys Will Be Boys,” “Growing Pains,” Beverly Hills, 90210,” “The West Wing” and “Scrubs.”

Raised in Ottawa, Canada, Perry had a successful run as a top-ranked tennis player competing in Canadian juniors. He essentially left the sport to pursue acting when he moved to L.A. at age 15.
