Happy 63rd Birthday, Harold Perrineau! Born on August 7, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York, Perrineau has built an extraordinary career across television, film, theater, dance and music. He was born Harold Perrineau, but his surname was changed to Williams during childhood. When he joined the Screen Actors Guild and discovered another Harold Williams was already registered, he returned to his birth name, using the surname of his mother, Sylvia Perrineau. Television audiences know him as Michael Dawson in ABC’s Lost, whose emotional search for his son Walt became one of the show’s most memorable storylines. After leaving as a regular following Season 2, he made a secretive return in Season 4, with Michael hiding aboard the freighter under the alias Kevin Johnson. Perrineau previously starred as narrator and inmate Augustus Hill throughout HBO’s groundbreaking prison drama Oz. He now leads MGM+’s supernatural mystery series From as Boyd Stevens, the determined sheriff trying to protect the residents of a nightmarish town from which no one can escape. Season 4 concluded on June 28, 2026, and MGM+ has officially renewed the series for a fifth and final season, expected in 2027. His memorable film roles include Mercutio in Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet, Link in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, Rashid Cole in Smoke, Julian Murch in The Best Man and Flynn in 28 Weeks Later. His other television work includes Sons of Anarchy, Constantine, Claws and The Rookie. Marvel fans may also recognize him as the English-language voice of Blade in the 2011 anime series. Before his major screen success, Perrineau trained as a dancer and originated the role of Tyrone Jackson in the 1989 world premiere of Fame: The Musical. A talented singer as well, he recorded the R&B/soul track Stay Strong and later released music with producer Tomo in der Muhlen. From the Emerald City of Oz and the mysterious island of Lost to the terrifying town of From, Harold Perrineau continues to bring intensity, humanity and unforgettable presence to every performance. #haroldperrineau #fromonmgm #lost #thematrix #happybirthday

Emmett Till would have been 85 years old today. But white supremacy stopped that from happening. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - He bought some candy and said "Bye baby" on the way out of the store - but the white lady behind the counter - Carolyn Bryant - claimed he grabbed her, made lewd advances and wolf-whistled at her as he sauntered out. A few days later - based solely on how a young black man responded to a fragile white woman - he was dragged from his bed in the darkness of the night, ridiculed, mocked, beaten, shot, tied to a 75 pound cotton-gin fan and thrown in to the Tallahatchie River. All because of the way a young black child responded to a fragile white woman. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It took an all-white jury only 67 minutes to acquit his killers. "We wouldn't have taken so long if we hadn't stopped to drink pop," they said. All because of the way a young black child responded to a fragile white woman. We're NOT far removed from this... if removed at all. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In 2017 Carolyn Bryant confessed that Till had never touched, threatened or harassed her. She made it all up. I visited his grave outside Chicago several years ago. It was a somber moment for me. His life mattered... but it didn't to his murderers. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - And we're watching a country, a government and a disgustingly high number of supportive citizens work hard to remove history to act like things like this never happened. Shame on you, America. That's why we say Black Lives Matter. That's why we fight with everything we have against racism - blatant, overt, covert and systemic. Happy Birthday, Emmett Till... happy birthday. #RacismSucks #EndRacism #SpeakUp #Acknowledge #EmmettTill #WhiteFragilityKills #ShameOnYouAmerica

Hoping to make it work, she attended 10 therapy sessions, but ultimately decided to end the marriage when things didn’t improve. Carey later said the experience taught her more about herself and gave her a deeper understanding of her own emotions.
