VANCOUVER—The film industry in Vancouver is reeling from the loss of Luke Perry following the announcement of his death early Monday morning. Luke Perry, who gained instant heartthrob status as wealthy rebel Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210, died Monday after suffering a massive stroke, his publicist said. One Riverdale crew member who did technical lighting on the set said Perry was by far his favourite cast member. “A whole generation grew up watching Luke Perry as Dylan on 90210 and a second generation got to know him as Pop on Riverdale. A father figure and mentor to the show’s young cast, Luke was incredibly generous and he infused the set with love and kindness,” it read.
