Mini Biography
Perrey Reeves was born in New York City

and raised in the countryside of New

Hampshire by her academic parents, who

preferred not to own a television but

rather submerge their children in the vast

realms of literature. Thus, her

educational background ranged from years

abroad in France and Italy to the Ivy

League colleges of the US. Drama studies

were what really interested her, however,

resulting in her choosing an acting

career. Her interests are as eclectic and

diverse as the roles she has played and

the life she has led. A lifelong

vegetarian, she finds mental and physical

balance in meditation and yoga, which she

has faithfully practiced for over a

decade. In the midst of acting, she also

focuses much of her creative energies

renovating a new home with her fiancée.

She describes their abode as a "quaint

country oasis in the hills of Hollywood".

When not standing in line at Home Depot,

she passionately donates her time to The

International Fund for Animal Welfare and

lives with many furry creatures.

She joins the comically dynamic cast in

DreamWorks' October release, Old School

(2003), directed by Todd Phillips.

Co-starring opposite Will Ferrell, she

plays his traditional wife who is

dedicated to the white picket fence dream.

Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Leah Remini and

Ellen Pompeo round out the stellar cast.

Perrey is accomplished on both the big and

small screens. She has co-starred in

features such as Tri-Star's The Suburbans

(1999), Miramax's Smoke Signals (1998),

Trimark's Kicking and Screaming (1995) and

Universal's Child's Play 3 (1991). She has

landed series regular roles in four pilots

and has guest starred on numerous

television shows ranging from Fox's "The X

Files" (1993) to the WB's "Off Centre"

(2001). She has played lead roles in

made-for-television movies, including CBS'

An Element of Truth (1995) (TV) and ABC's

Escape to Witch Mountain (1995) (TV).

Perrey showcased her talents on stage in

theater productions of "High Tor", "House

Arrest", "Women of Manhattan", "Picnic"

and "Last Night at Ballyhoo" at The Canon

Theatre in which she played Rhea Perlman's

daughter.MORE
