The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMatthew Perry was already on another sitcom when he sat with five other people and thought: this is the group, this is the script. He went to that producer, hat in hand, and begged to be released. The man said Friends would not make him a star. Tonight that producer is in the room. Then trivia: Joey's hand twin, a mystery answering-machine voice, and Tom Selleck walking in. Watch a career leap told as a plea.
