The late Matthew Perry was gifted at lending human depth to what could be stock characters. His most famous role, as acerbic Chandler Bing in the sitcom Friends, is a prime example of this. Despite ten years of being in an ensemble in romantic comedy comfort food, Perry’s Chandler remained oddly grounded and is perhaps the closest thing that the series has to an audience surrogate: Funny, but rough around the edges. Failable, but trying his best. Constantly watchable, but nevertheless imperfect. It’s a talent that Perry would also bring to his one and only role as a video game voice actor, Benny in Fallout: New Vegas.
