Actors - Jeff Perry


Jeff Perry is an American character actor with a diverse resume encompassing television, theater, and film. He grew up in Highland Park, Illinois as the son of Joe and Jane Perry. His father was a teacher at Highland Park High School. On advice of one of his sisters, Perry got a part in a local school play which exposed him to acting and immediately caught his interest.

One of the original co-founders of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago, Illinois. Out of a school association, Perry and fellow actors Gary Sinise
and Terry Kinney
started up the company in a city church basement which has grown into an internationally renowned company that includes John Malkovich
, John Mahoney
, and Joan Allen
. After spending nearly two decades with Steppenwolf, Perry made the move to Los Angeles in 1987 to pursue film and television work, where he currently resides.

Perry is perhaps best known as the diehard Grateful Dead fan and police inspector Harvey Leek on the Don Johnson police show Nash Bridges. He was also effective as a prickly superior to Kevin Bacon
's detective in the thriller Wild Things
(1998). Many of his television and film credits include The Human Stain
(2003) and The Grifters (1990) as well as appearances on The West Wing (1999), Lost (2005), and My So-Called Life (1994).

Never one to forget his roots, Perry frequently returns to the Steppenwolf company in the form of acting roles or teaching at the school.
