Ron Perlman is a prolific actor, and he has also lent his distinctive voice to a number of projects in film and television — including the new animated film The Book of Life. One of the reasons that Perlman works so hard is not only because he loves being an actor, but because of what his late father told him after seeing him in a college production of Guys and Dolls.
In this interview that Perlman did on the set of his 2006 film The Last Winter, Perlman speaks about the huge influence his father had on his career, and he becomes tearful when he recalls how much his father’s support meant to him. Check out the interview clip above.
