My favorite Perry White (in all Perry White versions) has got to be Lois & Clark: The New Adventure of Superman's Perry White.
The late Lane Smith was just terrific as the Daily Planet's editor-in-chief and Lane & Kent's boss Perry White. In my opinion, he played the best Perry and he owns that character. Whenever I think of Perry, I always picture him. "Great Shades of Elvis!" his Perry in Lois & Clark was hilarious too. #laugh#
Here are some of my favorite Perry Lines/quotes from LnC:
"Great shades of Elvis!" ;D
"I love the smell of fear in the newsroom."
"Jimmy, I did not become editor of a mjor newspaper because I can yodel."
"There will always be another headless corpse, but true love comes around maybe once."
"Yeah, well, just remember there's no perfect sunsets. There's a little crack in every cloud, but that's what gives you your silver lining."
This Perry/Jimmy convos were just so funny:
[talking about Lois and Clark]
Jimmy: You know, I think that's the first time I've ever heard them agree on anything.
Perry: Yeah, well, a budding romance will do that for you.
Jimmy: How did you know that?
Perry: Jimmy, I did not become editor of a major newspaper because I can yodel. #laugh#
Perry: Do you ever get the impression that we'll never know everything that's going on with those two?
Jimmy: Chief.
Perry: Yeah?
Jimmy: Instead of always standing around watching Lois and Clark, wondering what they're doing, we get to get lives of our own that are little more interesting.
Perry: Son, you just hit the bulls eye. It's like we're supporting characters in some t.v. show and it's only about them. ;D
Jimmy: Yeah! It's like all we do is advance their plots.
Perry: To tell you the truth, I'm sick of it. #laugh#
Jimmy: Man, me too!
Perry: Hey Jimmy, that dress Lois has on, didn't she have that on yesterday?
Jimmy: I don't know.
Perry: Now, Jimmy, if you want to be a newspaperman you gotta be observant. Now, doesn't Clark look a little... haggard to you?
Jimmy: Yeah.
Perry: You know, like he's been up all night worrying about something. Like a dog trapped in a cage?
Jimmy: Yeah, I guess.
Perry: You know what I think?
Jimmy: What?
Perry: I think they eloped. #laugh#
Also, this Lois/Perry convo was funny:
Lois: I need a new partner.
Perry: I knew it. One bad date, there goes my whole news room. Why don't you just shoot me now, send me up to Elvis? ;D
Lois: Perry... .
Perry: No, no, no, Lois, don't say it. You know, I have stood on the sidelines, hoping against hope that Mother Nature would smile on you two, that the bluebird of happiness would come down light on your shoulder, that four-leaf clovers would sprout up wherever you walked, and all the time my gut is singing a different aria. #laugh#
Lois: Perry... .
Perry: Lois, anybody with half a hemisphere can see that you two are gasoline and fire, TNT and matches, two trains headed toward... #laugh#
Lois: Perry! Thank you. The problem is we didn't have a bad date. It was a really great date, and now I'm completely panicked, and I have no idea what to do next.
