Ron Perlman is in rare company in that he truly becomes the character. He is not just acting, he is bringing someone to life. Watching most actors is, of course, entertaining, but to watch someone like Ron Perlman, is to get lost, caught up in the world he creates. He may not be saving a life a day like a heart surgeon, but he does something else. He touches hearts with his abilities and talent. He may bring a glimmer of hope to someone alone, a piece of bravery to someone afraid, a smile to someone in need of one, just by BEING who he is, and that comes through every character he
inhabits, HIS heart and soul. He says he doesn't care about his career anymore and that is sad to hear. To think of never being allowed to experience what he has in him to give is disheartening. I hope he continues for a long time
to come. To waste even a drop of his talent would be a terrible waste. He may believe that acting is a frivolous
pursuit,and not truly making a difference in the world in a real way, but to anyone with a heart that is lucky enough to experience his art, he makes a lion sized difference. I have not been fortunate enough to have seen everything that he has graced by being in, but it will be a goal of mine to make sure that I do get to experience them all, and all of those to hopefully come.
