Darius Perkins

Personal life In 1992, Perkins was arrested after being involved in a collision with his former partner's car. He was convicted for drink-driving after he was found to have a blood alcohol level of .110. At the hearing in the Prahran Magistrates' Court, Perkins had his license cancelled and he was disqualified from driving for 11 months. He was later removed from a television advertisement for the Transport Accident Commission when they learned of the conviction.

In addition to his acting career, Perkins was also a singer with the Melbourne rock 'n' roll band Genius.

Perkins died from cancer on 2 January 2019, aged 54. Tributes came from his former Neighbours co-star David Clencie (Danny Ramsay) who said, "I am so sad, really devastated to lose my mate. We had this incredible bond. We were mates to the very end." Stefan Dennis who played Perkins' former on-screen brother, and Neighbours executive producer Jason Herbison also paid tribute to him.
