Best known for his successful career on the TV series "Friends," Matthew Perry is also a passionate advocate for treatment and recovery support for substance abuse addicts and alcoholics.
On one of his visits to Washington, D.C., Perry was honored by the Obama Administration’s Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) at the White House with the Champion of Recovery Award, the highest ranking honor he could receive. As an Ambassador for the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP), Perry has been to Capitol Hill several times to lobby for the additional funding needed to expand access to drug courts across the United States. Drug courts have been shown to be a less expensive and more effective alternative to prison for nonviolent drug-addicted offenders who are instead entered into court-supervised treatment programs.
In 2011, Perry was presented with the All Rise Ambassador Award by the NADCP for his tireless advocacy efforts for drug courts. He is also the founder of Perry House, a sober living residence for men starting their journey towards recovery.
Perry was the co-creator, co-writer, executive producer, and star of the ABC sitcom "Mr. Sunshine." He co-developed and starred in the CBS sitcom "The Odd Couple," portraying Oscar Madison from 2015 to 2017. Perry also made his playwriting debut in 2017 with the dark comedy play "The End of Longing." In 2021, he executive produced and appeared in the HBO Max special "Friends: The Reunion."
