From an early age, John Bennet Perry knew his son, Matthew Perry, had incredible acting skills. The "Farewell to the King" actor recalled to People how he noticed Matthew's skills when he starred in a school play. He said, "I thought, 'We've got a problem here, he's good. There's another generation shot to hell!'" Matthew was good, but it would take a couple of years and a few small acting gigs before he landed his big break with "Friends."

One of Perry's earliest projects included his father, John. Matthew starred in the television series "Home Free," which aired for just one season in 1993, per IMDb. Matthew was the lead actor who played a son still living with his mom, but his comfortable world gets turned upside down when his sister and her children come back to live with Perry's character and his on-screen mom. Now, where does John fit into this plotline? Well, John played a judge in one episode of the series.

The father-son duo only got to star together in that one episode of "Home Free," so they didn't get much shared screen time. However, it wouldn't be the last time Matthew and John would work on a project together.
