A Staple on ‘Riverdale.’

“When someone is drowning, you can try to save them, but not if they’re gonna drag you down with them,” the actor said while portraying Fred Andrews.

He Related A Lot to Fred.

“I think in some ways this character is the closest thing to me that I’ve ever played because he’s a guy that loves his kid. That’s really all he’s about,” the father-of-two told ET about his role on the CW drama. “That’s what I’m about.”

A Booming Career.

“I’m not worried about being a big star. But it makes me nervous when people talk about it like it’s already happened,” the actor told Rolling Stone in 1992 when the 90210 cast graced the cover.

Always Relatable.

“The show has changed my life immeasurably,” he said about 90210 during a behind-the-scenes interview in 1993. “Life is certainly never going to be the same. It has been good for the most part. It certainly has some drawbacks, but I’m not bitchin’.”

‘A Good Ride.’

“I am kind of surprised at the young teenagers who catch it in reruns. They still find stories 20 years old at this point compelling. And they binge-watch them. … It’s been a good ride,” Perry told Rachel Ray during an interview in 2017.

Keep Your Head Up.
