Personal life


Perrineau was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Harold Williams and Sylvia Perrineau. His parents changed his name to Williams when he was seven.[citation needed] Harold later legally changed his name back to his birth name, after discovering there was already a Harold Williams in the Screen Actors Guild union.

In July 2007, it was announced Perrineau would return to the main cast for the show's fourth season.[6] However, this return was short lived, as the fourth season was his last as a regular cast member.
