Ron Perlman
American actor Ronald N. Perlman, born April 13, 1950, is widely celebrated for his versatility, having played significant roles across film, television, and video games. His career boasts impressive credits such as Amoukar in Quest for Fire (1981), Salvatore in The Name of the Rose (1986), Vincent in the television series Beauty and the Beast (1987–1990), a stint for which he won a Golden Globe Award, and Hellboy in both Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). He played Clay Morrow in the television series Sons of Anarchy (2008–2013), and gave impactful performances in films like Drive (2011) and Don't Look Up (2021). Being a frequent collaborator of Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro, Perlman has had standout roles in films like Cronos (1993), Blade II (2002), Pacific Rim (2013), and Pinocchio (2022).

Born in Washington Heights, New York City to a Jewish family originally from Hungary and Poland, Perlman's personal life was touched with battles against overweight issues and low self-image during his early years. Despite these challenges, his relationship with his father was very close, a relationship that inspired Perlman to pursue acting. Perlman's career journey spans over four decades, debuting in the soap opera Ryan's Hope in 1979. Over the years, he has become one of the most recognizable figures in the industry, both for his distinctive voice and his commanding physical presence.
