While ‘Friends’ was his biggest claim to fame, Mathew had starred/guest starred in countless other TV shows over the years — such as ‘Boys Will Be Boys,’ ‘Growing Pains,’ ‘Silver Spoons,’ ‘Charles in Charge,’ ‘Sydney,’ ‘Beverly Hills, 90210,’ ‘Home Free,’ ‘Ally McBeal,’ ‘The West Wing,’ ‘Scrubs,’ ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,’ ‘Go On,’ ‘The Odd Couple’ and more. He had also acted in a handful of memorable films (mostly comedy) … like ‘Fools Rush In,’ ‘The Whole Nine Yards,’ ‘Three to Tango,’ ‘The Kid,’ ’17 Again,’ ‘Getting In,’ and many others. Though his on-screen persona was upbeat, Matthew suffered mightily behind the scenes from his addiction to drugs and alcohol, painkillers, specifically. He was hooked on Vicodin for years and had been in and out of rehab, TMZ reported. Matthew opened up about this painful chapter of his life in a memoir he put out last year, where he detailed the struggles he had including his clear weight loss/gain on the show. Matthew never married, but he was briefly engaged a couple years ago which came to an end after only 6 months.
