Former Friends star Matthew Perry landed a role in his favorite video game after injuring his hand playing it for long periods of time.

The actor admits he became hooked on Fallout 3 during a hiatus and the brains behind the apocalyptic shoot-out game were thrilled when Perry went public with his hand injury news.

He tells Parade magazine, "I told that story on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the game makers offered me a part in the fourth Fallout. I voice one of the characters, and I had to kill myself when I played it." (KL/LAFR/PAW)
