Multiple outlets are reporting that Luke Perry passed away today after being hospitalized this past Wednesday for what is said to have been a massive stroke. He was 52.
Perry is best known for playing Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210 but he also appeared in the likes of Oz, The Fifth Element and the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. More recently, he had a recurring role as Archie Andrews' father Fred on The CW's Riverdale.
Perry's final big-screen appearance will be in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, playing the real-life Canadian-American actor Wayne Maunder.
Luke is survived by his daughter Sophie and his son Jack, who is a pro-wrestler known as “Jungle Boy” Nate Coy.
