show all Perrey was born in New York City and raised in the countryside of New Hampshire by her academic parents who preferred not to own a television but rather submerge their children into the vast realms of literature. Thus, her educational background ranged from years abroad in France and Italy to the Ivy League. Within the depths of her scholarly accolades, it was her drama studies which rose to the forefront, resulting in making her career choice acting. Perrey's interests are as eclectic and diverse as the roles she has played and the life she has led. A life-long vegetarian, she finds mental and physical balance in meditation and yoga which she has faithfully practiced for over a decade. In the midst of acting, she is also focusing much of her creative energies renovating a new home with her fiancee. She describes their abode as a "quaint country oasis in the hills of Hollywood". When not standing in line at Home Depot, she passionately donates her time to The International Fund for Animal Welfare and personally co-habitates with many furry creatures.
She joins the comically dynamic cast in DreamWorks' October release, "Old School (2003)", directed by Todd Phillips . Co-starring opposite Will Ferrell, she plays his traditional wife who is dedicated to the white picket fence dream. Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson , Leah Remini and Ellen Pompeo round out the stellar cast.
Perrey is accomplished on both the big and small screens. She has co-starred in features such as Tri-Star's "The Suburbans (1999)", Miramax's "Smoke Signals (1998)", Trimark's "Kicking and Screaming (1995)" and Universal's "Child's Play 3 (1991)". She has landed series regular roles in four pilots and has guest starred on numerous television shows ranging from Fox's "X Files, The" (1993)" to the WB's "Off Centre" (2001)". She has played lead roles in movies for television which include CBS's "Element of Truth, An (1995) (TV)", ABC's "Escape to Witch Mountain (1995) (TV)", and NBC's Death of a Career.
