He plays the late Edward Moore 'Ted' Kennedy in the Reelz Channel mini-series, The Kennedys After Camelot.

And on Friday, Matthew Perry was in full politician mode on the show's Toronto set, joined by actress Kristen Hager as Ted's wife Joan Kennedy.

Matthew, who is best known for playing goofy Chandler Bing on Friends, was all seriousness here with grey sideburns, longer side-swept hair and retro suit.
