Perry's son Matthew died on October 28, 2023, at age 54, from an apparent drowning, stemming from a ketamine overdose.[11][12][13]

View on GrokipediaEarly life
Birth and family background
John Bennett Perry was born on January 4, 1941, in Williamstown, Massachusetts.[5] He was the son of businessman and civic leader Alton L. Perry and Maria Schaefer (née Bennett), in the small college town of Williamstown.[9][10] Perry grew up alongside his older brother, Alton Bennett "Tony" Perry, in a close-knit household that emphasized community involvement.[10][9] The brothers' shared experiences in Williamstown shaped Perry's early personality, fostering a sense of creativity and familial bond. During his childhood and teenage years, Perry and his brother Tony formed a band that performed at local functions, pubs, and shows, achieving modest regional popularity and igniting Perry's initial passion for performance.[11][12] These community activities in the culturally vibrant town, home to institutions like the Williamstown Theatre Festival, laid the groundwork for his later pursuits, though he would go on to attend St. Lawrence University.[11]Education
John Bennett Perry attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, during the early 1960s.[4] He graduated from the university in 1963 with a bachelor's degree.[13][14] During his undergraduate years, Perry was a member of the Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity (Xi chapter), where he engaged in social activities that fostered interpersonal skills essential for his later public-facing career.[15][16] St. Lawrence University offered programs in theater and music during this period, providing Perry with opportunities to explore performing arts that aligned with his emerging interests. Following graduation, Perry chose to pursue opportunities in the entertainment industry, relocating to New York City to begin professional work in modeling and performance.[5]Career
Music and modeling
Perry began his professional career in music during the early 1960s as a member of the Serendipity Singers, a folk ensemble formed in 1963 that blended harmonious vocals with lighthearted, upbeat arrangements similar to contemporaries like the New Christy Minstrels.[4] He served as one of the group's lead singers alongside members including his brother Tony Perry, who joined later, contributing to their dynamic of family-influenced performances and frequent lineup changes that kept the act fresh through the mid-1960s.[17] The group achieved notable success with their debut single "Don't Let the Rain Come Down (Crooked Little Man)," which peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1964, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Recording and establishing their reputation for catchy, narrative-driven folk tunes.[18] Perry remained with the Serendipity Singers until around 1967, during which time they released several albums on Philips Records and performed extensively on television variety shows, honing his stage presence through group tours and live appearances.[4] Following the group's decline in popularity amid shifting musical tastes, Perry transitioned to modeling in the late 1960s, leveraging his photogenic appeal and performance background to secure work in print advertisements and television commercials while dividing his time between New York and Los Angeles.[19] This shift marked his entry into visual media, where he built a steady portfolio of endorsement gigs before fully pursuing acting. His most enduring modeling role came in the 1970s and 1980s as the clean-shaven sailor in Old Spice aftershave commercials, portraying a confident, nautical figure stepping off a grand sailing ship to apply the product with the tagline "The mark of a man."[20] The campaign's repetitive airings on national television made Perry a familiar face to American households, symbolizing masculine grooming ideals and significantly boosting his public recognition during that era.[5] Outside the Serendipity Singers, Perry pursued additional singing opportunities, including forming a local band with his brother Tony in the early 1960s that enjoyed regional success before his group commitments, and later performing with the Ojai Valley Boys in folk circuits.[4] His modeling portfolio extended beyond Old Spice to various other commercial spots, though none matched the cultural longevity of the aftershave ads in cementing his image as a charismatic endorser.[19]Acting and television hosting
John Bennett Perry made his acting debut in the 1972 television movie Bobby Jo and the Good Time Band, portraying the character Jeff in a lighthearted musical comedy directed by Hal Cooper.[12] Following this initial foray into screen work, Perry transitioned to feature films with supporting roles in Lipstick (1976), where he played Martin McCormick, a music teacher entangled in a dramatic trial, and Midway (1976), as Navy airman ARM1c Walter G. Chochalousek during the pivotal World War II battle depiction.[4] These early credits marked the beginning of a career that leveraged his prior modeling visibility, including Old Spice advertisements, to secure diverse on-screen opportunities.[5] Perry's breakthrough in scripted television came with his lead role as Deputy Theodore Roosevelt "Trap" Applegate III in the ABC adventure series 240-Robert (1979–1981), where he starred alongside Mark Harmon and Joanna Cassidy in stories centered on Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies operating personal watercraft for rescue missions. The series ran for two seasons and established Perry as a character actor in action-oriented dramas.[21] Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Perry built a steady presence in television through guest spots on prominent series, frequently embodying authority figures such as law enforcement officers, military personnel, and officials.[4] Notable appearances included roles on Little House on the Prairie (1983) as rancher Russell Matthews, Magnum, P.I. (1985) as Stephen Parker, and The West Wing (2001) as Representative Bill Wakefield, often portraying resolute leaders in procedural and dramatic contexts.[22] This pattern of casting in authoritative positions extended to recurring work, such as Sheriff Floyd Gilmore on Falcon Crest (1985–1986), underscoring his versatility in ensemble-driven narratives.[11] In addition to acting, Perry ventured into television hosting as co-host of the syndicated daytime talk-variety series EveryDay from 1978 to 1979, alongside Stephanie Edwards, featuring segments with performers like Murray Langston and Tom Chapin.[23] For his work on the program, Perry received a Daytime Emmy nomination in 1979 for Outstanding Host or Hostess in a Talk, Service, or Variety Series, recognizing his engaging on-air presence.[24] Perry's career included notable on-screen collaborations with his son, Matthew Perry, blending family dynamics into professional projects. In the romantic comedy Fools Rush In (1997), he portrayed Richard, the strict father of Matthew's character Alex Whitman, adding authentic tension to the father-son interactions. They reunited for a guest appearance on Scrubs (2004) in the episode "My Unicorn," playing father and son patients in a humorous hospital scenario that highlighted their real-life rapport.[5] Additionally, John Bennett Perry guest-starred on Friends (1998) as Mr. Burgin, the father of Rachel's boyfriend Joshua, in the episode "The One With Rachel's New Dress," providing a brief but memorable crossover.[25] Perry continued appearing in procedural dramas into the 2000s, including guest roles on shows like NCIS (2003–2004) as Roland Sims, Diagnosis: Murder, and Cold Case, often in authoritative or investigative capacities.[22] After more than 40 years in the industry, spanning from his 1972 debut to his final credits around 2011, Perry retired from acting, concluding a prolific tenure marked by over 100 television appearances and a shift from modeling to multifaceted screen work.[26]Personal life
Marriages
John Bennett Perry's first marriage was to Suzanne Langford on September 2, 1968, in Ottawa, Canada.[27] The couple's union lasted less than two years, ending in divorce in 1970.[28] This short marriage occurred amid Perry's early professional pursuits in modeling and singing during the late 1960s.[12] Perry remarried on July 16, 1981, to Debbie Boyle, a television writer.[29] As of 2025, the couple remains married after more than four decades together.[3] Boyle's background in entertainment has complemented Perry's acting career in Hollywood, providing mutual support in their shared industry.[30] Perry has maintained a low public profile regarding his personal relationships, with few statements issued about his marriages beyond family acknowledgments following significant events.[31]Children and family
John Bennett Perry and his first wife, Suzanne (née Langford), had one son, Matthew Perry, born on August 19, 1969. Matthew, an actor best known for his role on Friends, died on October 28, 2023, at age 54 from the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning listed as a contributing factor in the accidental death. Perry and his son shared a close bond, collaborating on several on-screen projects, including the 1997 film Fools Rush In, where they portrayed father and son, as well as guest appearances together on episodes of Scrubs and Home Free. Perry maintained a private grieving process following Matthew's death, issuing no immediate public statement and largely staying out of the media spotlight, though he was later photographed appearing frail on what would have been his son's 55th birthday in August 2024. Perry's second marriage to Debbie Boyle produced a daughter, Maria "Mia" Perry, born in 1986. Details about Mia's personal life and career remain limited in public records, with Perry emphasizing family privacy regarding her. In his memoir, Matthew described Mia as a central figure in the Perry family dynamic, highlighting their sibling relationship despite the age gap. Through his ex-wife Suzanne's remarriage to journalist Keith Morrison, Matthew gained four half-siblings: Caitlin Morrison (born 1981), Emily Morrison (born 1985), Will Morrison (born 1987), and Madeline Morrison (born 1989). Perry maintained connections with this extended family, and following Matthew's death, the Morrisons issued a joint family statement expressing heartbreak over the "tragic loss" of their "beloved son and brother." In a 2024 interview marking the one-year anniversary of Matthew's passing, Suzanne, Keith, and the daughters—Caitlin, Emily, and Madeline—spoke publicly about family unity and Matthew's legacy, underscoring their ongoing support for one another without direct involvement from Perry himself.Filmography
