Perry has had a long and successful career in movies like 8 Seconds and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as steady television work since his stint on 90210 in shows like Community and The Simpsons.
He also seemed like a really good guy, a rarity in Hollywood.
I didn’t know Luke Perry personally but every time I saw him in a restaurant he would stop and make silly faces with a random baby. Every single time. Rest In Peace.

The last time I saw Luke Perry he asked me if I wanted to smooch his brand-new puppy Daisy. I did and I did and I'll always remember him that way.

The first time I met Luke Perry we talked about what kind of movie we wanted “Buffy” to be. I asked if he’d ever seen “Near Dark” and he gave me a look of HOW DARE YOU SIR and I knew we’d get along. Funny, committed, and always gracious. He shouldn’t be gone.
