He added, "My character's quite a bad guy, which is really fun to play. I've never played a guy this, sort of, mean before. Playing a sociopath is kind of easy because you just pretend you're telling the truth when you're lying."
Perry made his name playing Chandler for 10 series of Friends between 1994 and 2004. He went on to appear in a number of movies including "The Whole Nine Yards" in 2000 and "17 Again" with Zac Efron in 2009.
