In this interview, legendary actor Ron Perlman sits down to talk about his latest film, "Day of the Fight." He shares insights about working with first-time director Jack Huston, the challenges of shooting on a tight 20-day schedule, and the bond he formed with co-star Michael Pitt.

He also reflects on his personal approach to acting, why he thrives under fast-paced indie film conditions, and his thoughts on the audition process.

Here's a bit more of what's in the interview:
• Perlman joined the project due to his friendship with director Jack Huston.
• He also adds that there’s no difference in directing styles between actors who are directors and directors who have never acted.
• He focuses on how directors communicate their vision during fast-paced shoots, like this film’s 20-day schedule.
• Perlman enjoys rapid shooting schedules, citing his experience in low-budget indie films. He finds the spontaneity of early takes more authentic than multiple retakes.
• Discussing his role as a father figure to Michael Pitt’s character, he explains how he drew inspiration from Pitt’s “raw and spontaneous performance” to build their on-screen relationship dynamically.
• Perlman admits to being a terrible auditioner, contrasting the skill of auditioning with acting. He now avoids auditions to focus on his strengths.
