Luke Perry

Luke Perry is an American actor. Raised in Fredericktown, Ohio, Perry starred as Dylan McKay in the long-running TV series Beverly Hills, 90210, a role he played from 1990-95, and then from 1998-2000. Much publicity was garnered over the fact that even though he was playing a sixteen year old when 90210 began, Perry was actually in his early twenties at that time. Perry returned to 90210 in 1998 and remained with the series until its conclusion in 2000.

After appearing in the music video 'Be Chrool To Your Scuel' for the band Twisted Sister alongside Alice Cooper, Perry's earliest roles were in the daytime soap operas Loving and Another World. Following this, he then won the role of brooding millionaire's son Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210. While starring on 90210, Perry then won a supporting role in the original film version of Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Although the film was not a success, Perry had already become a popular teen idol in the early 1990s.
