90’s television hear-throb Luke Perry, known for television soap Beverley Hills 90210<\/em>, and films such as 8 Seconds<\/em> and The Fifth Element<\/em>, has passed away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Luke Perry came to industry attention for a leading role in the 1990 Aaron Spelling-produced teen soap Beverley hills 90210<\/em>, at its height one of the most popular television shows on the planet. In the show, he played the James Dean-esque brooding Dylan McKay for the ten-season show, becoming a hugely popular star; using this fame, Perry branched out into feature films, notably in 1992’s Terminal Bliss<\/em> and Buffy The Vampire Slayer<\/em> (alongside star Kristy Swanson), and 1994’s rodeo drama 8 Seconds<\/em>, opposite Cynthia Geary. Supporting roles in big-budget films such as The Fifth Element<\/em>, and independent productions including Indiscreet, Dishdogz<\/em> and the Mario Van Peebles drama Redemption Road<\/em>, continued to propel his career once his superstar status waned.<\/p>\n

His final credited film appearance will be in Quentin Tarantino’s yet-to-be-released Once Upon A Time In Hollywood<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Luke Perry passed away on March 4th, following a massive stroke the week prior.<\/p>\n
