For those that are fans of the animated series called Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm from back in 1996, you may remember Perry’s role as Sub-Zero. As many offer tribute for his part in iconic shows like 90210, gamers are offering their own sort of tribute including Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon himself:

R.I.P. Luke Perry.
Truly… In addition to Earthrealm, he was a great defender of 90210 & Riverdale. May God bless his soul. #RIPLukePerry pic.twitter.com/FNoWNuomhn

We lost a teen icon, great actor, and all around good guy with Luke Perry. Many years ago, it was quite a surprise that besides himself, he voiced Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat: Defenders of The Realm, Rick Jones in the 1996 Hulk animated series. Just gone to soon.#RIPLukePerry pic.twitter.com/JiaCuOxajH
