The father of three, who met Perry even before getting on “Riverdale,” went on to describe Perry’s generosity and how he always found him so inspiring. He said:

“One thing about Luke that always struck me was the way he talked about his life. He had so many good stories, and he saw them as chapters in his life. He recalled them with such fondness, even if it was a shitty time. He always found the wit and humor in these crazy situations. He always found the beauty in it. I knew him for such a short time, and he had such an impact on me, and everyone around him. I feel grateful that maybe I was a passage, a page or two, in a chapter of his life.”

While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the co-producer, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa disclosed that it has been difficult for the entire cast to come to terms with the unexpected loss.
