About Me

I was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts, was raised in Ottawa, Ontario, where I became a top-ranked junior tennis player in Canada. However, after moving to Los Angeles at the age of 15 to live with my father (actor John Bennett Perry), I became more interested in acting. In addition to performing in several high school stage productions, I remained an avid tennis player. I was ranked 17th nationally in the junior singles category and third in the doubles category. Upon graduating from high school, I intended to enroll at the University of Southern California. However, when I was offered a leading role on the television series, "Second Chance" (1987), I seized the opportunity to begin my acting career.I also appeared in the hit comedy film The Whole Nine Yards (2000), as the neighbor of a hit man played by Bruce Willis. My other feature film credits include _Fools Rush In (1997)_, A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988), She's Out of Control (1989) and Parallel Lives (1994) (TV). I co-starred with Chris Farley in the buddy comedy Almost Heroes (1998) and in the romantic comedy, Three to Tango (1999), opposite Neve Campbell. I'm currently living in Los Angeles. I enjoy playing ice hockey and softball in my spare time.
