As people read through the actor’s memoir, there are discussions about his biopic. Zac Efron was chosen to play Perry. Here are some other actors we think would be brilliant in the role.
Perry was in the public spotlight for most of his adult life, but it would be a difficult task to portray him, given his struggles with alcohol and drugs. Perry even said that he didn’t remember filming some seasons of Friends.
Zac Efron, the star of High School Musical, has expressed interest in playing Matthre in his biopic. However, other actors such as Cole Sprouse and Daniel Radcliffe could also be perfect for the role. Let’s find out more.
Cole Sprouse
Cole Sprouse, the only young actor who has seen Matthew Perry in Friends as Chandler Bing, is the only one to have closely observed his work. The Riverdale actor played Ross’s child Ben in the show, and shared scenes with all six actors. It is also important to note that his age is appropriate to portray this role.
Zac Efron
We understand why the actor was approached to play his 17 Again Co-star Matthew Perry. Efron is not only talented, but could also explore the comic side and the substance abuse side of the late actor. The High School Musical actor has now called Perry a role model and said that he was honored to hear the late actor thought of him to direct his biopic.
Daniel Radcliffe
Yes, Harry Potter. If you consider the actor’s age and talent, as well as his physique, he would be a perfect choice to play Matthew Perry. We should also keep in mind his perfect transformation into Weird Al for the biopic of the latter, which will be released in 2022.
Timothee Chalamet
Timothee Chalamet is a talented actor. There is no doubt that the actor is brilliant. He is already carrying on the legacy of Willy Wonka and he could nail his role as Matthew Perry. We shouldn’t forget the hard work that the actor puts in for each role.
Jeremy Allen White
