Sarah Paulson couldnt forget how generous Matthew Perry was if she dreamed.

The American Horror Story actor, who starred opposite the late actor in the Aaron Sorkin series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, recalled him helping her get cast while on The View Tuesday.

I was at a particular place in my career where I needed that job very desperately and he, because of his friendship with Amanda Peet, who was my best friend at the time, who was also on the show, they had done a movie together called The Whole Nine Yards, she said .

So he asked me to meet him in the parking lot for my final audition, and I got in his car and he ran the whole scene with me multiple times so that I could have, you know, a leg up on the other performer, she continued. And I did get the job.

Paulson added that she credits Perry, whom she praised as one of the most generous people on the planet, to this day for taking that extra time, which she maintained he absolutely did not need to do.

The series, which only ran for one season, essentially used Saturday Night Live as a template to chronicle the inner workings of a live TV program.

The show came at a pivotal time for both actors, as Perry had recently concluded his time on Friends and was seeking other work to define him and Paulson was eking out her name in shows like Nip/Tuck and HBOs Deadwood.

Perry died at his Los Angeles home in October. The Friends star, who released his memoir a year prior and chronicled his lifelong substance abuse issues, appeared optimistic about his future at the time.
