His publicist confirmed the death to the Associated \nPress, saying Mr. Perry suffered a stroke last week. Additional details \nwere not immediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Perry was a \nfrequent guest actor on television and was slated to appear in Quentin \nTarantino\u2019s upcoming mystery crime film \u201cOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood,\u201d\n as an actor in a TV Western. Since 2016, he had starred in \u201cRiverdale\u201d \u2014\n based on the Archie Comics series \u2014 as Fred Andrews, the divorced \nfather of Archie (played by K.J. Apa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it was \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210\u201d that defined him for a generation of viewers. Created by Darren Star and produced by Aaron Spelling<\/a>,\n the show centered on a pair of Minnesota twins, played by Jason \nPriestley and Shannen Doherty, who move to Southern California and adapt\n to life at glamorous (and fictional) West Beverly Hills High.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n series premiered on Fox in 1990 to dismal ratings and reviews but took \noff during a special \u201csummer season\u201d the following year. Drawing \nmillions of viewers each week, it ran for 10 seasons, spawned a spinoff \nseries, \u201cMelrose Place,\u201d and served as a model for teen dramas such as \n\u201cDawson\u2019s Creek\u201d and \u201cThe O.C.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Perry played\n Dylan McKay, Doherty\u2019s off-and-on love interest, a moody loner who \nstruggles with alcoholism and a fractured relationship with his wealthy \nfather. He appeared alongside Jennie Garth and Ian Ziering, who played \nspoiled classmates; Brian Austin Green, whose character aspired to join \nthe popular crowd; and Tori Spelling, the producer\u2019s daughter, who \nplayed a close friend of Doherty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\n the show addressed topics such as AIDS, date rape, learning \ndisabilities and teenage pregnancy, the principal draw for many viewers \nwas its handsome male leads. Sporting leather jackets, sideburns and a \n\u201cRebel Without a Cause\u201d persona, Mr. Perry was featured in a People \nmagazine cover story that dubbed him<\/a> \u201cTV\u2019s hottest heartbreaker\u201d and was known to trigger riots with his public appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he visited a mall in Seattle to sign autographs in 1991, he had to be spirited away in a laundry hamper<\/a>\n after a crowd of young women rushed the barricades. Later that year, 21\n people were injured as a crowd of more than 8,000 fans rushed toward \nthe stage to see him in South Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why it happened,\u201d Mr. Perry joked to The Washington Post<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t even sing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coy\n Luther Perry III was born in rural Mansfield, Ohio, on Oct. 11, 1966, \nand raised in nearby Fredericktown, where he said his high school \u201chad \nclasses on giving birth to cows and driving tractors.\u201d His father was a \nsteelworker, and his mother was a homemaker; they divorced when Luke was\n 6, according to a profile in People, and he was raised by his mother \nand construction-worker stepfather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among Mr. \nPerry\u2019s earliest acting credits was a gig performing as Freddie Bird, \nhis high school\u2019s web-footed mascot. He moved to Los Angeles after \ngraduation and held down odd jobs, selling shoes and working at a \ndoorknob factory, while searching for work as an actor, guided by dreams\n of becoming the next Paul Newman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\n his account, he was rejected 216 times before landing roles on the soap\n operas \u201cLoving\u201d and \u201cAnother World.\u201d Through a failed audition for \n\u201cFerris Bueller,\u201d a short-lived sitcom based on the movie starring \nMatthew Broderick, he met a casting director who suggested him for \n\u201cBeverly Hills, 90210.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeking to demonstrate his range as an actor, Mr. Perry left that series for several years, telling The Post in 1994<\/a>, \u201cThe show does not challenge me.\u201d He starred that year in the film \u201c8 Seconds,\u201d as bull-riding champion Lane Frost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLike\n earlier throbs (Matt Dillon in particular) he looks capable of rising \nabove the fanzine drivel and proving himself a real actor,\u201d Roger Ebert wrote<\/a>. \u201cBut this isn\u2019t quite the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\n never found the star-making feature vehicle and went on to supporting \nparts in \u201cThe Fifth Element\u201d (1997) and \u201cDishdogz\u201d (2005).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr.\n Perry returned to \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210\u201d for its final three seasons \nbut did not appear in the show\u2019s revival, which featured the shortened \ntitle \u201c90210\u201d and ran on the CW from 2008 to 2013. According to USA Today<\/a>,\n Mr. Perry also did not sign on for a six-part \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210\u201d \nreboot scheduled for this summer. The series was announced by Fox on \nWednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n 1993 he married Rachel \u201cMinnie\u201d Sharp, variously described as a former \nmodel and onetime furniture saleswoman. They had two children, Jack and \nSophie, and divorced in 2003. A complete list of survivors was not \nimmediately available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Perry\u2019s acting \ncredits were extensive: He appeared in the 1992 movie adaptation of \n\u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d; played an imprisoned televangelist in the \ncritically acclaimed HBO series \u201cOz\u201d; starred in the post-apocalyptic \nShowtime series \u201cJeremiah\u201d from 2002 to 2004; and played the neurotic \nmale lead in a 2004 West End adaptation of \u201cWhen Harry Met Sally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But he said he had no illusions about his legacy and defining role on \u201cBeverly Hills, 90210.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m\n going to be linked with him until I die, but that\u2019s actually just \nfine,\u201d he told the news service United Press International in 2008. \u201cI \ncreated Dylan McKay. He\u2019s mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
