Anna Faris Reminisces About Matthew Perry
The 47-year-old actress shared her fond memories of working alongside the late actor during his last season on Friends.
Faris appeared in a four-episode arc as Erica, a woman giving birth to the twins Perry’s Chandler and Courteney Cox’s Monica would end up adopting, on the series in 2004.
An Honor to Work with Perry
It was an honor and he was just an incredible person,
Faris tells People while promoting her latest project, My Spy The Eternal City. I wish I knew him better. It feels a little audacious for me to speak too much about somebody that I felt like I had brief interactions with, but they were wonderful and I am honored to be a part of the show.
Faris notes that she was of the understanding that Perry had suggested her for the role. He told me that he’d seen me in Lost in Translation and he thought I was good,
she shares.
A Memorable Collaboration
I worked mostly with Courteney and Matthew, and they were unbelievable to me. They were so kind,
she adds.
I mean, it was such an intimidating idea. I mean, to give birth on Friends? The final season?

Perry passed away at his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28 at the age of 54. Just last month, Friends co-star Lisa Kudrow admitted that she has been re-watching the series in his honor.
Honestly, I wasn’t able to watch it because it’s too embarrassing to watch yourself. But if I make it about Matthew, then that’s OK,
Kudrow told The Hollywood Reporter.
And it’s just celebrating how hilarious he was — and that is what I want to remember [about him].
