Perry appears in 10 episodes of the HBO prison drama as Reverend Jeremiah Cloutier, who gets locked up for embezzlement and petty larceny after he steals from his own church. His arc on the show sees him converting prisoners to Evangelical Christianity and helping to resolve a feud between the Aryans and Muslims, but ultimately, his refusal to engage in violence lands him sealed inside the wall of the cafeteria by the bikers. He survives, only to get buried inside another wall later on in the series.
