On March 4, 2019, the world lost one of its most endearing and talented actors: Luke Perry. A teen idol, fans watched Luke Perry on soap operas such as Another World and Loving before he won over the hearts of young girls with his bad boy portrayal of Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210. The role would take him through 10 seasons but additional work would follow. Luke Perry left an indelible mark in Hollywood and television with roles in groundbreaking series such as HBO’s Oz, and the sci-fi series Jeremiah.

He leaves behind a prolific voice-over career, television series that include the CW’s Riverdale, and will appear in the upcoming Quentin Tarantino movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The movie is focused on Charles Manson and the night of Hollywood horror his cult family unleashed upon Sharon Tate, Jay Sebring, and friends.
