 Actor Perren Page Has Passed Away

He was not on the list.

Perren Page was born on August 2, 1938 in the USA. He was an actor, known for M*A*S*H (1972), Digital Dream (1983) and Law & Order (1990). He died on May 2, 2020 in Lindenhurst, New York, USA.

Though he is credited only as "driver" and is never referred to by name, Connecticut-born actor Perren Page nonetheless got a five-episode stint on the "M*A*S*H" TV series. It's one of the longest stretches any actor got on the show playing a single character without that character getting an official name. What's even more interesting is that Page's driver character didn't even appear in one continuous stretch — none of his five episodes across Season 7, Season 9, and Season 10 occurred back to back.

Page did very little acting apart from "M*A*S*H." He only had eight other screen credits — sometimes as W. Perren Page — on his resume, which include appearances on "The Facts of Life," the original "One Day at a Time," and "Law & Order." According to a LinkedIn profile that seemingly belonged to Page, he worked as an acting coach and instructor between 2004 and 2011. There is very little else publicly available about Page or his life since leaving acting behind in the mid-2000s. He passed away in New York in 2020 at the age of 81.
