Matthew Perry was found dead Saturday in a jacuzzi in L.A. No sign of drug abuse (he was candid about lifelong substance-abuse issues in his memoir last year), and his death is actively being investigated.

Just tragic.

Full obit.

Perry's first-ever TV job, filmed when he was 9 and aired after his 10th birthday, was this short scene on 240-Robert (1979). His dad, John Bennett Perry, plays the paramedic:
