The film also starred Elijah Wood, Rachel Leigh Cook and Janeane Garofalo. After a hiatus from acting, Perrino returned to appear in the last season of The Sopranos, playing Jason Gervasi, a young mobster. Next in Assassination of a High School President, Perrino played high school delinquent Dutch Middleton, starring Bruce Willis as the principal. Perrino had begun studying with veteran acting teacher Alice Spivak and is one of the founding members of On The Road Repertory Theatre Company.

Kemp, Perrino made such a favorable impression that the storyline was retooled to keep Perrino’s character alive.
