His breakthrough role was starring as Christian opposite Gérard Depardieu in Cyrano de Bergerac.[4] He was nominated for a César Award.[5] He has since appeared in various films and his onscreen leading ladies have included Catherine Deneuve, Kim Basinger, Isabelle Adjani and Aaliyah.[2]

On television, he starred in Paris enquêtes criminelles, the French remake of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Perez starred as Lieutenant Vincent Revel. He also portrayed Frankenstein's monster in a 2004 television movie titled Frankenstein starring Parker Posey in an update of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein.

He has also gone into directing. Two of his shorts, L'échange and Rien à dire, have been nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.[6]

He has exhibited his photographic work during festivals and in art galleries.[7] For example, his exhibition entitled Face to Face, which featured photographs of Carla Bruni, Johnny Hallyday and Gérard Depardieu, was unveiled at Rencontres d'Arles, an annual photography festival in Arles, France.[7] In December 2012, he exhibited his photographs of dancers of the Bolshoi Ballet at the RuArts in Moscow, Russia.[8] Two years later, in December 2014, he exhibited them again at the Accademia Fine Art Gallery in Monte Carlo, Monaco.[7][9]
