- Selleck recalls moments with Perry
- Perry imitates Selleck’s mannerisms
- Friends cast had authentic bond
The actor, who portrayed Richard Burke in a Friends guest appearance, confessed that he had an equal amount of difficulty containing himself when Matthew Perry attempted to imitate him but struggled to deliver a Chandler-esque line.
Tom Selleck has disclosed some of his favourite instances of co-starring on Friends with Matthew Perry.
The 79-year-old guest-starred on the sitcom as Richard Burke, the older romantic interest of Monica (Courteney Cox). He recalled being on set during Chandler’s filming. Perry’s character, Chandler, attempted to grow a moustache similar to Selleck’s signature in the season two episode The One Where Old Yeller Dies.
Selleck reflected USA Today on Perry, who passed away in October of last year, stating that he and the studio audience were both chuckling when Perry entered the room sporting an attempt at a moustache.
Selleck stated that the home fell when Perry entered the set (Selleck).
The actor likely took great pleasure in delivering Richard’s remark to Chandler: “By the way, that is a handsome moustache. “When puberty arrives, that will certainly become a factor.”
According to Selleck, Perry was “the most talented individual among a very talented group.”
He recalled seeking his counsel online reading when his character was required to imitate Perry’s demeanour, specifically when uttering “Could that shot be more beautiful?” in the sarcastic manner characteristic of Perry.
Selleck expressed surprise at Matthew’s speech pattern.
Tom, Matt informed me, ‘It’s a prank.'” ‘He says it that way.’ Selleck stated, “However, throughout the entire performance, I kept approaching him and asking, ‘Can you repeat it?'” He would provide the line. “That was his signature.”
Selleck, who had a close friendship with John Bennett Perry, the father of Friends protagonist Perry, stated that the relationship between the cast members portrayed to the audience was authentic.
“None of bad stories exist.” Nothing starry. “It was nothing like that,” stated Selleck. “The moment you sat down to take rehearsal notes was fascinating.”

“Courteney would alternate between sitting on one individual’s lap and another the following time.” Everybody got along.
“I believe it’s because each of these actors has experienced failure on another show.” They are currently in this success. Everyone realised how fortunate they had been.”
On October 28th, Perry, age 54, was discovered unresponsive in the swimming pool of his residence. He was subsequently pronounced deceased at his residence in Los Angeles. The cause of death was determined to be accidental due to the “acute effects of ketamine” during the post-mortem examination.
