Ron Perlman, a
classically trained actor, has appeared in countless stage plays,
feature films and television productions. With a career spanning
over three decades, Perlman has worked alongside such diverse actors
as Marlon Brando, Sean Connery, Dominique Pinon, Brad Dourif, Ed
Harris, John Hurt, Jude Law, Christina Ricci, Federico Luppi,
Sigourney Weaver, Michael Wincott, and Elijah Wood. He began
as Amoukar, one of the tribesmen in Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Academy Award-winning film Quest for Fire (1981), for which he received a Genie nomination. Perlman teamed up with Annaud again, as the hunchback, Salvatore in The Name of the Rose (1986).
His first real breakthrough came when he played the role of Vincent, the lion-man, opposite Linda Hamilton in the cult-series Beauty and the Beast (1987) for which he won a Golden Globe Award and a cult fan following. Afterwards he was a supporting actor in television and independent films such as Guillermo del Toro’s debut Cronos (1993) (which began a lifelong friendship and collaboration between the two) as Angel and his first lead role as One in Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s surreal The City of Lost Children (1995). His first major role in mainstream film came when Jeunet cast him for the brutish Johner in Alien: Resurrection (1997).
Perlman has also used his distinctive voice to his advantage, appearing in many animated films/series, commercials and he is a video game fan favorite because of his work on such games as the Fallout: A Post-Nuclear Role-Playing Game (1997) (VG) series. He achieved worldwide fame with his starring role as Hellboy in Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy (2004) after which Perlman has become a household name and much sought after actor. Perlman has had one of the most off-beat careers in film, playing everything from a prehistoric ape-man to an aging transsexual, and will always be a rarity in Hollywood.
Other notable roles include the cunning Norman Arbuthnot in The Last Supper (1995/I), sniper expert Koulikov in Enemy at the Gates (2001), vampire leader Reinhardt in Blade II (2002), as Ed Pollack in The Last Winter (2006), his reprisal of Hellboy in Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) and biker chief Clarence Morrow in the popular series Sons of Anarchy (2008).
