After spending a lifetime battling his demons, the troubled actor was finally on the road to recovery. So how did he lose his way?

The fans know that “Friends” will always be there for them. The beloved sitcom turns 30 this month, with its premiere episode airing Sept. 22, 1994. In honor of the monumental moment, the ‘Friends’ co-creators, Kevin Bright, Martha Kauffman and executive producer David Crain, revealed the possibility of a reboot.

Matthew once apparently described David as “a linchpin person in a scene,” saying that his Friends castmates “were always looking” to him for direction.
