Perry King
Perry King is not only a British artist, but also an accomplished actor and voice-over artist. He was born in Alliance, Ohio in 1948, but moved to England in the 1970s to pursue his career in the arts. King began his acting career in the late 1960s and has since appeared in numerous films and television shows, including Mandingo (1975), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), and Melrose Place (1994-1999). He has also lent his voice to several animated series and video games, such as Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) and Red Dead Redemption (2010). King's artistic talents extend beyond acting and voice-over work. As a visual artist, he has experimented with a variety of mediums, including painting, sculpture, and photography. His works often explore themes of identity, memory, and the human condition. In addition to his Prix de Rome-winning sculpture Seated Woman, King has created numerous other public sculptures, including The Tree of Life (1994) in Sheffield, England and The Dancer (2000) in Columbus, Ohio. Despite his success in both the arts and entertainment industries, King has remained relatively private and low-key. He has been married to his wife, Karen, since 1975 and they have two children together.
