Creator's Concerns
Friends creator Marta Kauffman has revealed that she was concerned about Perry's well-being during the show's production:
"I remember there were times when he was not in his best shape," Kauffman said. "There were times when I would look at him and think, 'He's really fragile.'"
Kauffman added that Perry's struggles were evident both on and off camera:
"He had a lot of anxiety. He was very hard on himself. He was a perfectionist and he wanted to do everything right."
