Perry made a name for himself as Dylan McKay on the Darren Star-created teen soap, which follows a group of friends living in Beverly Hills, CA, from high school days into adulthood. Perry is irresistible as Dylan, who begins the series as a dangerous bad boy loner. He eventually gets to show his more sensitive side as he becomes closer with the group. Over the show's many seasons, he struggles with alcoholism, drug addiction, and his father's imprisonment, and we see him navigate the ups and downs of multiple relationships with characters like Brenda (Shannen Doherty) and Kelly (Jennie Garth).
