Oz Perkins and Anthony Perkins

After playing his role brilliantly in the movie Friendly Persuasion, for which he won an Academy Award, Anthony Perkins became one of Hollywood’s go-to actors. As if that was not enough, his role as Norman Bates in Psycho added more gas to the trajectory of his career. Unfortunately, he passed away unexpectedly in 1992. His legacy continues on in his eldest son, Oz Perkins. Osgood Roberts Perkins II is an actor, screenwriter, and filmmaker.

Did you know that he appeared in Psycho as a twelve-year-old version of Norman Bates? Since then, he has starred in Six Degrees of Separation, Legally Blonde, and Not Another Teen Movie, among others. He also received credit for writing and directing The Blackcoat’s Daughter, which stars Emma Roberts. Needless to say, like his father, he is contributing much to the industry in more ways than one. We’re sure Anthony is more than proud of his achievements.
