Character Types
Perry is known for portraying both villanous and likeable characters. Portraying a ruthless politician in Scandal, it's clear that he can bring antagonist roles to life. An example of Perry portraying a more gentle and likeable character is Thatcher Grey, an awkward but loving father in Grey's Anatomy.
​
"I've never had a role with range like that, maybe ever, and definitely not in television, I honestly never thought I would find this level of sheer fun in television."

As an actor that can portray the lighthearted and dark sides to a character, Perry is very well suited to the secretive Chris Hillman.
