n the month before Mathew Perry’s death, a doctor the actor contacted to acquire ketamine called him a “moron” in a text message, according to federal prosecutors.

A dealer who authorities say supplied the drug to Perry referred to him as “Chandler” — the sarcastic yet sweet-natured character he played on the hit television show “Friends,” court documents say.

He was such a wonderful guy - he deserved better drug dealers and hangers on.

If Chandler just stuck with booze, he'd still be with us today.

He made 20 million a year in residuals from friends. That’s an incredible amount of money for a weak person who has a drug problem.

Nah. Some innocent would have been plowed into by this twit drunk on his butt.

I don’t feel sorry for Hollywood degenerates who make millions and have ‘’issues’’ and have to be ‘’medicated’’ all the time.

If you pass by the checkout counters you’ll notice he’s on the cover of People this week with the headline Justice for Matthew... A lot of irony there.

everyone has addiction of some kind or other, some are just considered more acceptable than others. all addictions are offensive to God and in the end we each answer to Him whether one believes in God or not.

how are you dealing with your addiction?

I learned a long time ago that people will do to us, what we let them get away with. If he was being exploited, he allowed it to happen to himself. Life-style choices will usually get you in the end.

The Democrats are working on a cure for that.

I hated Friends but I liked Perry in The Whole Nine Yards.

And democrats demand we listen to actors for our political education.

I have no idea who this man was, his views, or his beliefs. However it is sad his addictions led to his untimely death. He was a fellow child of God like all of us and being a hollyweird actor was surrounded by evil that he obviously could not defeat.
