On both The West Wing and Friends, Matthew Perry showed how uncomfortable, yet rewarding it can be to simply be honest.
The Big Picture The late great Matthew Perry brought a hilarious sense of awkward energy to Friends that made Chandler Bing the most relatable character of the cast. Although it's easy to think of Chandler’s most memorable moments and reflect on how hilarious Perry was, it's easy to forget how authentic his best moments were. Chandler was ultimately a good guy who was beaten down by life; he struggled with making decisions that could affect both himself and his best friends.
Although it's largely a serious performance, Matthew Perry added a sense of humor to the role that made the situation feel even more realistic. Compared to the rest of The West Wing's characters, who all walked and talked with Sorkin’s signature quippy dialogue, Quincy is a rather straightforward politician. He’s kind and courteous but doesn’t seem to take the same pleasure in winning political arguments as Josh Lyman or Toby Ziegler do.
Matthew Perry does a great job of showing how Joe Quincy wrestles with the decision of whether to reveal the knowledge that he now possesses. On one hand, it’s an obvious betrayal of Honyes’ duties, as not even Bartlet knows about this scandal. Bartlet has had health struggles, and could potentially have to leave office and yield the Presidency to Hoynes.
