Ronald Francis Perlman (born April 13, 1950, in Washington Heights, New York) is an American television and film actor.
He made his acting debut in Jean-Jacques Annaud's film Quest for Fire (1981). His breakthrough role came when he played Vincent in the TV series Beauty and the Beast, opposite Linda Hamilton. This earned him a Golden Globe and a large fanbase. He has since starred in many films, though his first lead role came in 2004 with Hellboy. The director Guillermo del Toro had to fight to secure the role, as the studio wanted someone more well-known such as Vin Diesel.
He has been married to Opal Perlman since February 14, 1981, and he has two children, Blake Amanda (born 1984), and Brandon Avery (born 1990).
As well as acting, Ron Perlman lends his voice to numerous video games and animated series, most notably as Slade in the Teen Titans animated series. He has also voiced Clayface in Batman: The Animated Series, and Killer Croc in The Batman.
