- 5 years ago
An audition to remember. Luke Perry reminisced about his first time playing the role of Beverly Hills, 90210’s Dylan McKay before his death on March 4 following a stroke.
In a sneak peek of the upcoming documentary Luke Perry: In His Own Words, the late actor looked back on his audition, which was not mishap-free. “I smelled like gasoline. I had tar all over me,” he recalled. “It was bad. I didn’t have a shirt on. I had to dig one out of the trunk of my car. I was filthy, basically. I was filthy dirty.”
