Perry no doubt got the acting bug from his dad, John Bennett Perry (pictured in October). The elder Perry is a veteran of TV's Falcon Crest, and more recently appeared in 2002's The Sweetest Thing – but he is probably best known for his 1970s Old Spice commercials. The two played father and son in 1997's Fools Rush In.
