Ron Perlman

Ron Perlman is my favorite proof that a leading man's soul can live inside a character actor's face. From Washington Heights to the University of Minnesota's theater program, he built his craft the unglamorous way, and it shows: bury him under hours of prosthetics and he still acts you off the screen with nothing but eyes and that gravel-pit voice. Television won him mainstream respect and genre cinema made him an icon, but what I admire most is his refusal to coast. He treats voice work, comedy, and so-called lesser material with equal seriousness, and that generosity is the mark of a true professional.
