This is just a terrible situation all the way around. People at the age of 52 shouldn’t be dying of strokes. They just shouldn’t be.

He was one of the most successful actors to ever live, and just like that he’s gone. It’s mind-boggling how unexpected life can be at times. (RELATED: ‘Riverdale’ Renewed For A Fourth Season On The CW)

There has been no timetable set for when production will begin again. Given the fact they’re going to have to write his character Fred Andrews off the show, it could be some time before cameras start rolling again.

Our prayers are with Perry’s family and all the people touched by his awful death. He won’t be forgotten anytime soon. I can guarantee you all that.
