The son of erotic novelist Nora Tyler Bing and cross-dressing Vegas burlesque star Charles Bing, he had an unpleasant childhood when his parents broke up.

He was popularly noted for sharing an apartment with Joey, and for supporting him by paying for the rent, his headshots and food. The two got in many humorous adventures and formed a very likable friendship. Chandler dated a few women on the show but was most famous for his affairs with the recurring character Janice, and as well as Monica. Initially, he began dropping hints that he was interested in Monica but she perceived it as a joke. Eventually, Chandler and Monica slept together and began a secret affair. After their friends’ discovery of their relationship, they later moved in, finally got married, and even adopted twin babies towards the end of the series.

Described by his parents as a “medical marvel,” he was generally favored by his parents over his younger sister Monica. As for his love life, he dated several women on the show and got divorced three times, starting off with Carol, Emily and then Rachel.
