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.
　　事業(yè)低谷：馬修派瑞。2006年，派瑞主演了美劇《日落大道60號(hào)》，但該劇僅播出了一季就因收視率低而被取消了。派瑞的銀幕生涯也同樣令人失望。他主演的電影《麻木》（2007）受到影評(píng)家的詬病，而且票房慘淡，很快就被遺忘了。
