Between 2017 and 2018, Perry played Mel in seven episodes of "Shameless." She may have only been on the program for a short time, but she left an impression both on and off the set.

Mel played the role of Nessa's jealous live-in girlfriend. Mel, who Nessa describes as "blonde and spiteful," clashed with Fiona after she lied to a possible renter about the building being infected with bedbugs in the hope that her pals would obtain an apartment instead.

Later episodes of Shameless season 8 showed that Nessa and Mel were expecting a child, and the pair were forced to relocate when Fiona decided to sell the apartment building in season 9. 

Mattfeld appeared in only seven episodes of Shameless, but her career has since taken off. After leaving Shameless, Mattfeld appeared in an episode of Amazon's psychological thriller Homecoming and soon after landed a two-episode role as Pam in the podcast series Carrier.

Her most notable post-Shameless role was as the protagonist in the CW drama series In The Dark, where she played Murphy Mason, a blind twenty-something woman who sets out to uncover her friend's murder.

Who Is Perry Mattfeld?

Mattfeld is an American actress best known for her work in hit TV shows such as "Escape from Polygamy," "Shameless," and "Wizards of Waverly Place." Her visage is recognized by most Americans who have seen these programs because she is one of the most popular celebrities, ranking with Julia Roberts and other well-known celebrities.

Mattfeld got off to a wonderful start in her profession, but she didn't start off as an actor. She was a ballet dancer who spent just under a decade performing only ballet before being introduced to other genres of dance.

Ms. Allen's World Premiere, the dance instructor's production firm, included her in "Alex in Wonderland," an original theater performance. She went on to perform in over 164 concerts at the Grove theater in Los Angeles.

Mattfeld is the daughter of a well-known Los Angeles attorney. Perry's acting career was advancing, but it was slow at first, so she needed to do something to fill in the gaps and pay the bills. She dabbled with modeling for a while, but it was simply a hobby for her. She modeled after graduating from USC, thanks to a connection she established with another student who was also linked.
