About
Movement is
the method 動
Ricky Perry is a Denver-based actor from East St. Louis. His acting is shaped by years of hip hop and contemporary dance and by stunt work, so his performances are grounded and every movement is deliberate.
He works in short film, stage and independent features, mostly in action, thriller and drama. His Best Supporting Actor win at Denver's 48 Hour Film Project in 2024 led to his first original short, Slick Rick: Call and Response, which he starred in and helped create. It premiered in Times Square and went on to Austin Action Fest. In 2026 he played one of four leads in Black Gold, a stage play about Black men's mental health.
