Lugar y fecha de nacimiento. Luke Perry (1966 - ) Actor Born As: Coy Luther Perry III Born: October 11, 1966, Fredericktown, OH Education: Fredericktown High School Slim, intense and smoky-voiced, Perry became best-known for his updated 1950s look and James Dean attitude as the misbehaved but misunderstood Dylan McKay on Fox TV's appealing paean to puberty, Beverly Hills, 90210. The blue-collar, Ohio-born Perry arrived in Los Angeles after graduating from high school, doing odd jobs (working in a doorknob factory, laying asphalt) while auditioning. He acted in the soaps Loving (ABC) and Another World (NBC) in the late '80s, added his smoldering presence to Levi's 501 jeans ads, and had a bit part in the film SCORCHERS (1992). Fame came with his winning the role of Dylan McKay in 90210 in 1990, and the near-hysteria that resulted transformed the actor into the leading teeny-bopper idol of the early '90s. Big-screen roles in the teen drama TERMINAL BLISS ( 1992) and the horror/comedy BUFFY,LA CAZA VAMPIROS (1992) did not, however, make him a movie star. Perry finally got some respectable notices with OCHO SEGUNDOS PARA LA GLORIA (1994), a biopic of rodeo rider Lane Frost, who died in 1989 after being gored by a bull. Perry left 90210 late in 1995, and filmed NORMAL LIFE (1996), a romance with Ashley Judd.
