Liked his acting way to young..

Drowned in his own jacuzzi. How awful!

I know he battled demons from alcoholism for many years but he really seemed to have gotten over it.

Huge loss. I'm gonna go binge a few dozen Friends episodes and then watch some of the criminally underappreciated Studio 60 as dessert.

Very sad - he was an incredibly talented actor with a lot going on off the screen. Friends came out while I was at Duke and was appointment viewing for all of us - we would often wait until after Friends to go out on Thursdays.

I loved Studio 60 - so sorry it didn't make it.

Very sad about his untimely passing. I’m thinking it probably was cardiac issues.

I too loved Studio 60 n never understood why it didn’t get more then 1 season.

I never watched Friends. He had a great part on The Good Wife, though, which is one of my all-time favorite tv shows.

Shame for anybody to go that young.

His comedic timing was brilliant. Absolutely nailed the “guy using humor as a defense mechanism” persona. RIP.

The Good Wife is an underappreciated show. But not as underappreciated as The Good Fight, which somehow was never in CBS, only on Paramount+, also known as "the least user-friendly interface for streaming" of the last five years.

Perhaps a heart attack. It's been known to happen. Or worse.

Heat and alcohol can cause you to pass out in hot tubs/jacuzzis - wouldn’t be first death due to this combo. RIP Matthew.
