This summer, fans of Luke Perry will be able to see him in his final film role as Scott Lancer in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Perry, 52, died Monday after suffering a massive stroke last week. The Beverly Hills, 90210 and Riverdale star had already finished filming all of his scenes for the movie, set in Los Angeles around the time of the Manson Family murders. The film also features Brad Pitt, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Kurt Russell, Dakota Fanning, and Leonardo DiCaprio, the latter of whom tweeted that Perry was a "kindhearted and incredibly talented artist. It was an honor to be able to work with him. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones."
