Seat assemblies including a substantially perpendicular pull actuator release are described. The seat assemblies can include a seat and a seat recline mechanism. The seat can include a back portion and a seat pan. The seat recline mechanism can include a gas spring, a control cable, an actuator, a frame, and a lever. The gas spring can include a release mechanism. The actuator can couple to a first end of the control cable. The lever can include a pivot location, a first arm, and a second arm. The first arm can couple to the second end of the control cable. The lever can respond to a pulling force exerted by the actuator on the control cable by rotating about the pivot location such that the second arm engages the release mechanism of the gas spring to allow the back portion to rotate relative to the seat pan.
