Harold Perrineau

An accomplished actor who has graced the stage, screen, and television, Harold Perrineau Jr. is renowned for his roles in the cult television series “Lost,” the “Matrix” film saga, and Baz Luhrmann’s iconic “Romeo + Juliet.” A native of Brooklyn, Perrineau studied music and theatre at the Shenandoah Conservatory, but began his career as a dancer with the Alvin Ailey Company. A gradual shift to acting led Perrineau to the theatre, where he acted in a number of shows including “Dreamgirls,” the critically acclaimed “Avenue X,” and the off-Broadway revival of “Godspell.” Over the years, Perrineau has appeared in a number of television shows including “The Cosby Show,” “The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd,” “I'll Fly Away,” “Oz,” “Law & Order,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “The Wedding Band” and “Constantine.” On the big screen recent credits include roles in Kathryn Bigelow's Academy Award-nominated “Zero Dark Thirty,” Malcolm D. Lee’s “The Best Man Holiday” and “28 Weeks Later” among several others. Perrineau currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three daughters.
