Perrey Reeves
- Actress
Perrey Reeves was born in New York City and raised in the countryside
of New Hampshire. Her parents, both academics, were from upper-class families. Her paternal grandfather, Hazard E. Reeves, was a sound pioneer who introduced magnetic stereophonic sound to films, and her maternal great-grandfather, James H. Hughes, was a U.S. Senator from Delaware (from 1937 to 1943). Perrey's parents preferred not to own a
television but rather submerge their children in the vast realms of
literature. Thus, her educational background ranged from years abroad
in France and Italy to the Ivy League colleges of the US. Drama studies
were what really interested her, however, resulting in her choosing an
acting career. Her interests are as eclectic and diverse as the roles
she has played and the life she has led. A lifelong 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
also focuses much of her creative energies renovating a new home with
her fiancée. 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 lives with many furry creatures.
She joins the comically dynamic cast in DreamWorks' October release, Retour à la fac (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 Phoenix Arizona (1998), Trimark's Kicking and Screaming (1995) and Universal's Chucky 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 : Aux frontières du réel (1993) to the WB's Off Centre, appartement 6D (2001). She has played lead roles in made-for-television movies, including CBS' Mensonge et trahison (1995) and ABC's Le mystère de la montagne ensorcelée (1995). Perrey showcased her talents on stage in theater productions of "High Tor", "House Arrest", "Women of Manhattan", "Picnic" and "Last Night at Ballyhoo" at The Canon Theatre in which she played Rhea Perlman's daughter.
