Benn Perry's formative years were characterized by an unwavering enthusiasm for the sport of baseball, with a fervent aspiration to one day don the iconic uniform of the Detroit Tigers, a team steeped in tradition and excellence.
Perry's early life unfolded in the state of Michigan, where he spent his formative years before embarking on a new chapter of his life in the year 1974, when he made the bold decision to relocate to the sun-kissed state of Florida, a place that would become his home for the next three decades.
During his time in Florida, Perry's life was filled with a sense of stability and routine, as he and his loving wife, Judy, built a life together, surrounded by the warm sunshine and lush tropical landscapes of the state. However, as the years went by, Perry's sense of wanderlust began to stir once more, and he found himself yearning for the familiar sights and sounds of his hometown, Detroit.
It was this deep-seated desire to give back to the city that had played such a significant role in shaping his early years that ultimately led Perry and his wife to make the momentous decision to return to Detroit in 2005, driven by a burning passion to make a positive impact on the very city that had given him so much.
Perry's multifaceted professional experience within the credit industry, comprising a diverse range of responsibilities such as credit extension, debt recovery, and financial guidance, allowed him to develop unparalleled expertise in his domain.
He made numerous appearances as a guest expert on various prominent national and international television programs, including the renowned The Oprah Winfrey Show, the respected Christian television program The 700 Club, and the popular morning news program Good Morning America, where he shared his insights and perspectives on the pressing and far-reaching issue of personal debt in America, providing valuable information and guidance to a wide audience.
Noted financial expert and author, Perry, drew upon his extensive experience and expertise to pen his seminal work, "Escape From the Plastic Prison...A Practical Guide to Getting Yourself Out of Debt", which garnered widespread recognition and acclaim, including the prestigious Best How-To Book Award at the esteemed San Francisco Book Festival in 2011.
Perry, a seasoned individual with a wealth of knowledge and expertise, initially elected to harness his vast reservoir of experience by crafting the screenplay "Past Due!", a cinematic endeavour that will be brought to life entirely within the city that holds a special place in his heart, the vibrant and eclectic Detroit.
The commencement of principal photography for the highly anticipated film "Never Again!" was initially slated to kick off on July 6, 2020, with great fanfare and anticipation. However, the unforeseen and far-reaching impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a temporary halt in production, leaving the creative team at Perry's Film Making Family in a state of eager anticipation, eagerly awaiting the opportune moment to resume filming and bring this vital and timely story to the big screen, where it can have a profound impact on audiences worldwide.
As a seasoned thespian, Matthew Perry has repeatedly underscored the significance of persevering in the face of adversity in order to convincingly portray complex characters, asserting that every role, no matter how daunting, presents a unique opportunity for growth and self-expression.
