Resurfaced Matthew Perry interview sheds light on his impact on ‘Friends’

Matthew Perry said he was the "only" Friends cast member who wanted to be in the show’s writers room in a resurfaced interview.

The BBC Radio 4 interview has reemerged following the news of the actor's death at the age of 54 on Saturday, 28 October.

Perry spoke to the BBC in 2016 about his love for writing as his West End play he wrote, The End of Longing, made its debut in London.

"It's not that I was allowed to, I was the only one who wanted to... [It was] just hanging out and pitching jokes, it was fun," Perry said.
