Perhaps most notable was his role as Rev. Jeremiah Cloutier on 10 episodes of HBO’s Oz (2001–2002). Working prolifically, Perry also took a successful stab at theater; in 2002 he made his Broadway debut dressed in drag as Brad in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

In 2006, Perry returned to network TV full time, starring in the NBC drama Windfall, but the show only lasted a season. Perry quickly returned to film, and resumed his TV guest appearances,

including a nine-episode spot on FCU: Fact Checkers Unit. In 2008, he turned down the chance to star in a spin-off of Beverly Hills 90210, but reunited with his former costar Jason Priestly when the two appeared in the 2011 TV western Goodnight for Justice.

In Recent Years

Perry’s recent major film projects include the 2010 comedy Good Intentions.

Having married in 1993 and divorced in 2003, Perry has shared custody of his two children—a son, Jack, and a daughter, Sophie.

In a January 2011 interview with Creators Syndicate, he expressed a desire to return to an ongoing TV series role. Perry was also cited by local media in April of 2011, after he joined fellow parents in protesting budget cuts to teachers’ salaries at his children’s middle school in Sherman Oaks, California.
