Luke Perry Defied the Patriarchy on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Set

The Big Picture In the wake of the news that someone, somewhere, had the gall to yell at THE Rebecca Ferguson , workplace behavior on the sets of Hollywood has once again been called into question. But, back in the early ‘90s, there was one actor who wouldn’t stand for any of it — Beverly Hills, 90210 star, Luke Perry.

Taking a walk down memory lane, Kuzui looked back on her time filming her sophomore feature just a few years after her directorial debut, Tokyo Pop, hit screens. What should have been an exciting moment for an up-and-coming female director in Hollywood was, as Kuzui says, instead rather tumultuous. A few weeks into production, Kuzui says that she had enough of the “unprofessional and unkind” treatment stemming from the crew, leading her to walk off the set.

Luke Perry Had A Grasp On His Privilege Close By this point in her career, Kuzui could see the writing on the wall and understood why such behavior was deemed acceptable, but she was interested to know if Perry also saw things for what they were.

Luke Perry Knew He Was Playing The “Damsel In Distress” Perry’s character, Oliver Pike, was the romantic interest for Kristy Swanson’s titular fighter of the undead. Like audiences would see down the road in the series through characters like James Marsters’s Spike and David Boreanaz’s Angel, Pike took a backseat to Buffy’s heroism.

Because we tragically lost Perry back in 2019 when he was just 52 years old, we’ll never get to hear his responses to Kuzui’s ultra-kind sentiments surrounding her time with the actor on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You can check out his quirky role for yourself as the title is now streaming on Max.
