The actor, best known for his role as Chandler, mentioned his struggle with addiction in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. In a 2022 interview with PEOPLE, he spoke about his challenges, saying, “I had to wait until I was reasonably safely sober – and away from the active disease of alcoholism and addiction – to write it all down. I was pretty sure it would help people if I did.”
