Career slump: Matthew Perry. In 2006, he landed the lead role as a TV writer in the much-vaunted Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip. But it was dropped by U.S. network NBC after one series because of poor ratings. Perry's attempts at a film career have been equally disappointing. He starred as a chronically depressed film writer in the quickly forgotten movie Numb, which was mauled by critics and flopped at the box office.
　　事业低谷：马修派瑞。2006年，派瑞主演了美剧《日落大道60号》，但该剧仅播出了一季就因收视率低而被取消了。派瑞的银幕生涯也同样令人失望。他主演的电影《麻木》（2007）受到影评家的诟病，而且票房惨淡，很快就被遗忘了。
