The first time I ever remember seeing
Ron Perlman was in the
infamous movie
The Ice Pirates. I was
9. That movie introduced me to the word
Eunuch, which made my mother
happy beyond words.
It also taught me
how to deal effectively with a space-virus, should I ever encounter one.
Mr. Perlman was
born Ronald Francis (Sorry Ron, It's for the good of
E2.) Perlman in uptown
New York on the 13th of April,
1950. He's taken part in over 80 movies/television shows in varying capacities, from director to writer but mostly
as an
actor. One of his finest performances would have to be as
Salvatore in
The Name Of The Rose. That
movie rocks my socks. (
Sean Connery and
Christian Slater also
kick ass in that movie.)
Ron Perlman started studying
theatrics at
George Washington High School. After that, Perlman attended
Lehman College for a bit, then after a brief
hiatus he
mosey'd on over to the
University of Minnesota and got
his
masters in
Theatre Arts. Ron is an
Aries and enjoys
golf and hunting scum in the dank tunnels beneath..
err.. yeah. Ron Perlman is usually remembered as either
Vincent from
Beauty and the Beast or as
Josiah Sanchez from
The Magnificent Seven. He has one wife and two kids.
A
filmography is available at "http://us.imdb.com/Name?Perlman,+Ron".
FYI, Ron was also in the last
Ed Wood film,
I Woke Up Early The Day I Died. With
Billy Zane.(Not to mention
Rick Schroder,
Sandra Bernhard,
Andrew McCarthy,
John Ritter,
Christina Ricci, AND
Vampira!
WOOHOO!) ^_^
