And he has his stroke, the same day they announce the re-boot. Spooky.

Grew up with this show was absolutely massive- bigger than the OC, Gossip Girl etc, all those that followed imo.

Whoa! Was relatively young and looked in reasonable nick. I know he's had some health issues along the way, though. Still, an unfortunate, sudden loss.

I've been watching his son recently make a name for himself in the world of professional wrestling as well, under the moniker Jungle Boy (he's like a long-haired Mowgli), and he's a real entertainer with looks and charisma in his own right.

After the first and only episode of Riverdale I watched I had to google to figure out which character he played. Looked nothing like the young man I vaguely remembered my mum watching on TV.

When someone with a famous parent becomes a wrestler it usually means the parent squandered all the money. Make of that what you will.

Perry Mason was an uncle

Had his posters on my bedroom wall growing up alongside Jason Priestley and various others. Aside from being a teen hearthrob he seemed like a great guy who didn't let fame go to his head.

Dylan McKay forever

Perry Mason was an uncle

Raymond burr was a world class breeder of Aussie silky terriers some of which he bought in person off some long dead relative of mine.

Career tragically cut down too early. Doggies thought he'd lead their defence. When he was sent to the saints it was the start to the end of his career.

Or Steve Perry.

 

[DroopStDanny]

Bred australorps with his brother when they were young.

He played his best footy with the Saints.

His real name was Coy Luther Perry.

Hard to forget America has race issues when even white actors feel obliged to seem all-American and not German, French et al.
