Max, the platform that replaces the HBO Max service in the United States, included a tribute to actor Matthew Perry, who died last Saturday (28), on the platform. An image of tribute to the star, who was part of the sextet of protagonists of the series “Friends”, was inserted before each of the episodes of the 10 seasons of the work.
“In memory of Matthew Perry 1969-2023,” reads the tribute image, which flashes on the screen for approximately five seconds before the iconic “Friends” opening sequence begins. All 10 seasons of the series are available on Max.

Matthew Perry was found unconscious in his hot tub, according to the Los Angeles Times, citing law enforcement sources.
The cause of death will require additional investigative measures by Los Angeles County medical authorities before reaching a conclusion, according to records.
“In cases where the cause of death cannot be determined at the time of the autopsy, a deferred certificate will be issued until additional studies are completed,” according to Los Angeles coroner guidelines.
No foul play is suspected, a police source told CNN . However, the incident remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division.
Who was Matthew Perry
Born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, to an actor father and a journalist mother, Perry went to live with his mother in Ottawa, Canada, at a young age, after his parents separated.
Growing up, Perry pursued his passion for tennis and became a top tennis player in Canada. Like his father, he also developed an interest in acting after moving to Los Angeles when he was a teenager to live with him.
Perry’s first credited work was a small role in the drama “240-Robert” in 1979. From there, other small roles appeared on shows such as “Charles in Charge”, “Silver Spoons” and “The Tracey Ullman Show”.
His first film role was in high school, starring opposite River Phoenix in the 1988 film “A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon.”
A year before the film’s release, he starred in the sitcom “Second Chances” (later retitled “Boys Will Be Boys”), about a man who dies and returns to earth to mentor his younger self, played by Perry.
The series failed to find its audience, but Matthew Perry continued to land prominent roles in TV projects, including “Growing Pains,” “Who’s The Boss” and “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
Fame with “Friends”
But it was his role as the affable and sarcastic Chandler in the sitcom “Friends” in 1994 that made Matthew Perry famous.
The quirky character earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2002. He also received four other nominations for the prestigious TV acting award, including two for his turn as Joe Quincy on “The West Wing.”
In “Friends,” Perry starred alongside Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow in a comedy about a close-knit group of friends living in New York City.
The group became a fixture on NBC’s incomparable “Must-See TV” programming, achieving a level of fame rarely seen on television or anywhere else.
Off-screen, the actors became as close as their characters on the show and traded together to become some of the highest-paid actors on a television series at the time.
The show helped boost Perry’s career, and he soon landed big-screen roles in 1997’s “Fools Rush In,” 1998’s “Almost Heroes” and 2000’s “The Whole Nine Yards.”
Although “Friends” was the best-known TV series in which he starred, Perry also starred in “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” “Mr. Sunshine” and “The Odd Couple”.
