Ron Perlman

Ron Perlman mini-bio: 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 major 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.
