Coy Luther Perry Iii

Luke Perry is a famous American actor, remembered by the audience for the role of Dylan McKay from the youth TV series "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990-2000). He played in such directorial works as Invasion (1997), The Fifth Element (1997), Riverdale (2017) and many others - the actor's track record has more than 90 roles.

Coy Luther Perry III (the full name of the actor) was born on October 11, 1966 in the eastern Midwest of the United States - in the city of Mansfield (Ohio). Luke spent his childhood and adolescence in the provincial historic town of Fredericton in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.

Luke grew up in a large family: in addition to the boy, his older brother Thomas, younger sister Amy and half-sister Emily (from the previous marriage of his stepfather) were brought up in the house. By the way, some fans mistakenly believe that Luke and actor Matthew Perry are related. Perry's parents were unremarkable people: his father, Coy Luther Perry Jr., worked tirelessly at a steel mill, and Anne's mother ran the household and took care of the children.

When Luke was six years old, his parents divorced (according to rumors, in 1990, the actor's father died of a heart attack), and in 1978, Anne remarried to Steve Bannett. As a 12-year-old child, Luke Perry began to think about the acting future: the little boy wanted to touch the colorful and immense world invented by screenwriters and directors. Perry graduated from the local Fredericton School in 1984. During his studies, the young man acted as Freddie's mascot - the official mascot of the sports team.

After school, Luke Perry realized that in his native "Horse Chestnut State" he would not be able to achieve significant success in the acting field. Therefore, the young man, following his American dream, went to conquer the largest center of the film industry - Los Angeles. However, the City of Angels did not immediately accept the provincial boy from Ohio. While in Hollywood, Perry worked for a long time in the production of doorknobs, sold shoes and even laid asphalt.

Before walking down the Walk of Fame, Luke experienced more than one test of insidious fate: the actor told Whoopi Goldberg that he failed all 215 screen tests in New York with a bang. But luck, as often happens, came to Perry unexpectedly: he, along with Alice Cooper, starred in the video of the American glam metal band Twisted Sister for the song "Be Chrool To Your Scuel". Then the creative biography of the guy was replenished with fleeting roles in the TV series "Another World" (1988-1989) and "Endless Love" (1987-1988).

Jordan Alan's low-budget drama Terminal Bliss (1990) is Luke Perry's debut full-length work. In the same year, the actor, along with Jenny Garth, Shannen Doherty and Jason Priestley, were approved for the lead roles in the teen drama Darren Star and Duke Vincent "Beverly Hills, 90210".

This series, which tells about the life of the golden youth of the 90s, is not associated with sugary rich guys and girls who perceive the world as illusory, wearing rose-colored glasses. The directors, like the writer Irwin Welch, take the audience into an unprincipled and incorruptible world, where the main characters have to face the harsh realities of life: early pregnancy, drugs, alcoholism, HIV, the death of loved ones and unrequited love.

In "Beverly Hills, 90210" Luke Perry reincarnated as the fatal "bad guy" and tempter of women's hearts Dylan McKay (the writers gave this name in honor of the actor Matt Dillon). Dylan is a charming handsome man and adventurer who, after the divorce of his parents, was left to fend for themselves. Fans of the series scrupulously watched the life of McKay, as this guy constantly committed contradictory and spontaneous actions: he plunges headlong into passionate novels, then he is being treated for alcohol addiction.

It is noteworthy that about 20 actors were watched in front of Luke at the casting of the series, the casting was not easy, the applicants had to not only show their skills, but also surprise the jury with their knowledge of a foreign language. But the guy in the blink of an eye managed to conquer the creators of the picture, so the choice was unanimous. According to rumors, after the audition, one of the channel's managers let slip that the young man was completely unsuitable for the role of Dylan, and the obstinate studio leaders refused to pay for Perry's work at all. So the producer of Beverly Hills 90210 Spelling had to invest out of his own pocket.

After a rather successful and memorable role in a youth drama, Luke Perry's life was in full swing: offers from directors poured in one after another. For example, in 1992, the actor was fortunate enough to work with Christy Swanson, Donald Sutherland and Rutger Hauer in the cult horror film with a touch of the comedy Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

In the crime drama "Normal Life" (1995), Luke got the main role: the actor reincarnated as the mustachioed police officer Chris, who, for the sake of his drug addicted wife (Ashley Judd), is ready to sacrifice his own principles and break the law. In 1997, Perry took part in Luc Besson's cult sci-fi action movie The Fifth Element, which also stars Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, Gary Oldman, Chris Tucker and other famous movie stars.

In the same 1997, Luke was awarded the main role in the film by P.J. Posner "Breath of Life". In this action-packed film, Luke Perry appeared before viewers as a decent family man Martin, looking for a rare blood type for his sick wife, which he is ready to get even at the cost of the death of an innocent person.

Certainly, Luke Perry has established himself as an actor, performing mostly sharp-character characters in action films, thrillers or melodramas. For example, he played a detective in "Trap" (1997), and also tried himself in the role of a young genetic scientist Mike, who will have a fight with dangerous bandits in the film "Enemy" (2001). But Perry can also be seen in comedies or family films such as Good Intentions (2010), K-9: Christmas Adventures (2013), It's Gavd! (2014) etc.

In 2016, Luke Perry played in the drama with elements of the comedy Love in Paradise, and since 2017, the actor has participated in the filming of the youth detective series Riverdale. This teenage drama, which some viewers compare to "Twin Peaks", the creation of Lynch, tells the story of the adventures of Archie and his friends in a dark and mysterious town, shrouded in a veil of mystical secrets and unprecedented events.

The cast of Riverdale also includes KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse, Camila Mendes and others.

In 1996, the actor had a fleeting affair with the charming beauty Yasnim Blyth (the star of the series "Rescuers Malibu"), but they soon broke up. The next darling of Luke was the actress Minnie Sharp, but this relationship also reached an impasse (the lovers divorced in 2003). It is known that from his marriage to Minnie, Perry has children: son Jack (1997) and daughter Sophie (2000).

Luke has been dating Wendy Madison lately. The lovers talked about the wedding, but the plans were not destined to come true.

On March 4, 2019, Luke Perry passed away at the age of 52. The cause of death of the star is the consequences of a stroke. Perry was rushed to the hospital after a stroke a few days before his death. Later, doctors recorded a second stroke, which entailed more critical consequences.

After the second stroke, Luke did not regain consciousness, which is why the doctors put him in a medical coma. They gave the actor's relatives encouraging predictions, but over time, the condition began to worsen. The doctors warned Perry's relatives about this, who managed to say goodbye to him.
