Personal life

Perrineau, Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York to Harold Williams, Sr. His typical French last name (which is actually his mother's maiden name) is the masculine of the first name Perrine.[citation needed] Perrineau and his wife, Brittany, share a daughter, Aurora Robinson Perrineau.

Acting career

Perrineau took the role of Link in The Matrix series after the original operator Tank was written off the script when Marcus Chong was fired over money disputes.[1]

Lost co-star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje starred with Perrineau on the HBO series Oz.

Perrineau was written off the show with his character leaving the island with his son at the end of season two and did not appear at all in season three; however, it was announced in July 2007 that he will return to the show for its fourth season beginning in February 2008.[2]
