The late actor revealed in detail in his 2022 memoir what happened behind the scenes before filming the Season 7 finale.The star, who died at age 54 on Oct.
28, wrote in his book that his dad, John Bennett Perry, saved his life “multiple times” — and even stepped in over a conversation the “Friends” actor had with the show’s co-creators.“After about three weeks, I called Marta Kauffman and David Crane to tell them I was sober and could return to ‘Friends,'” Perry recalled in “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”“‘When are you coming back?’ They said. ‘We need you to come back.
