Perkins, Anthony (1932–92), actor. The son of Osgood
Perkins, he was born in New York and educated at Rollins College and Columbia. After playing on summer circuits he made his debut as a replacement in the role of Tom Lee in
Tea and Sympathy in 1954. Later he appeared as such juvenile leads as the would‐be writer Eugene Gant in
Look Homeward, Angel (1957); the wanderlust youth Gideon Briggs in the musical
Greenwillow (1960); the awkward society crasher
Harold (1962), and hippie journalist Andy Hobart in
The Star‐Spangled Girl (1966). After a very successful film career Perkins returned for more mature performances, including the angst‐ridden Tandy in
Steambath (1970) and the haughty playwright Jason Carmichael in
Romantic Comedy (1979), but his finest portrayal was probably as a replacement in the role of the psychiatrist Martin Dysart in
Equus in 1975, treating the type of psychotic youth he had so often played in the movies.
