Born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Emmy Award Nominee Matthew Perry was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, where he became a top-ranked junior tennis player in Canada. However, after moving to Los Angeles at the age of 15 to live with his father (actor John Bennett Perry), he became more interested in acting. In addition to performing in several high school stage productions, he remained an avid tennis player--and was even ranked 17th nationally in the junior singles category and third in the doubles category.

Upon graduating from high school, Perry intended to enroll at the University of Southern California. However, when he was offered a leading role on the television series “Boys Will Be Boys,” he seized the opportunity to begin his acting career.

Perry recently starred with Elizabeth Hurley in the comedy film “Serving Sara.” He also co-starred in the hit comedy film “The Whole Nine Yards,” as the neighbor of a hit man played by Bruce Willis. Perry’s other film credits include “Fools Rush In,” “A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon,” “She’s Out of Control” and “Parallel Lives.” Perry also co-starred with Chris Farley in the buddy comedy “Almost Heroes” and in the romantic comedy “Three to Tango,” opposite Neve Campbell.

Nominated for an Emmy for his guest appearance on NBC’s “The West Wing,” he next will be seen alongside Willis in its anticipated sequel “The Whole Ten Yards” which will be released Easter weekend 2004. Perry is soon set to produce and star in “The Beginning of Wisdom” opposite his father, John Perry. He also has a two-picture deal with Paramount Studios.

On the stage, he recently finished his run in London’s West End in David Mamet’s “Sexual Perversity in Chicago.” He co-stars in this stage performance alongside Minnie Driver, Hank Azaria and Kelly Reilley. It has taken the largest ever box office advance for a West End show.

Perry currently resides in Los Angeles. He enjoys playing ice hockey and softball in his spare time. His birthday is August 19.
