Ron Perlman Unfiltered

Ron Perlman is one of those actors who has been around forever, appeared in every movie and TV show, and even voiced cartoons. He's a real working, journeyman actor, a consistently great performer -- especially the Hellboy movies and the show Sons of Anarchy.

I remember as a kid he was on this very bizarre 1980s show called Beauty and the Beast, one of the weirder shows to ever appear on network TV. It's about a gorgeous woman who falls in love with a half-man/half-beast who lives in a secret world beneath NYC. Ron Perlman played the beast, the world sexiest animal.

And Ron Perlman is from NYC, a child of Washington Heights. And even though he's a big actor, he's a character himself. You should read this big interview where he talks about his career but also talks about his family, many of whom have worked for the city government their entire careers (like mine!). And he unloads on Trump -- oh man oh man, does he ever. It's a great read!

Also, listen to his WTF interview from a few years ago -- it's also wild!
