He is also a writer and has written several books.
In 2003 he was homaged in Casa Piedra by hard-line Pinochetists for "rescuing the historical truth of Chile".
In December 2019 Pérez de Arce was expelled from the TV program "Bienvenidos" by hostress Tonka Tomicic for his repeated denialist comments. Subsequently, Senator Alejandro Navarro proposed a Chilean law against denialism dubbed "Ley Hermógenes".
