Harold
Williams nasce il 7 Agosto 1968 a Brooklyn, New York. Ha guadagnato
meritata fama di interprete che non si ferma davanti a nessun ruolo e
che accetta di impersonare dalla drag queen al consumato criminale. Un
giovane attore che ha lavorato a teatro, sul grande e piccolo schermo.
Nativo di Brooklyn, Perrineau studia musica e teatro al Shenandoah
Conservatory ma inizia la carriera come ballerino con la compagnia di
Alvin Ailey facendone parte per un anno e mezzo. Harold si dedica al
teatro, dove recita in molti spettacoli tra cui “Dreamgirls”,
l’acclamato “Avenue X” e il revival di “Godspell”. Mentre lavora a
teatro, Perrineau comincia ad apparire in televisione in programmi come
“The Cosby Show”, “The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd”, “I'll Fly Away” e
“Law & Order”. Comincia la carriera cinematografica a fine anni ’80, ma
il suo primo ruolo memorabile è quello di Rashid Cole, un giovane uomo
alla ricerca di un padre assente (Forest Whitaker), nel film Smoke del
1995. L’anno seguente conquista maggiore visibilità grazie al
fiammeggiante ruolo di Mercuzio nel “Romeo + Juliet” di Baz Luhrmann. In
una scena del film indossa una minigonna luccicante e scarpe con zeppa,
esplicitando il contrasto con il Romeo di Di Caprio e fornendo una
performance che ha reso il personaggio memorabile. Successivamente
Perrineau è apparso in una serie di ruoli di supporto in film che vanno
da “Lulu On The Bridge” (1998) di Auster, a “The Best Man” (1999) una
commedia romantica diretta da Malcolm D. Lee (cugino di Spike Lee) e
interpretata da un gruppo di attori che vengono considerati una nuova
generazione nascente di afro-americani: Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut, e
Nia Long. Oltre ad essere apparso in vari film indipendenti, Harold ha
lavorato in “Woman on Top” (2000), un commedia che lo vede interpretare
una drag queen migliore amica di una giovane donna (Penelope Cruz).
Perrineau è rimasto attivo anche nel campo televisivo interpretando il
significativo ruolo di un prigioniero paraplegico nella serie tv della
HBO “Oz”. |
