Ron Perlman is an American television, film and voice actor.
He was born Ronald N. Perlman at Washington Heights, NY. His father was a jazz drummer and a repairman and his mother was a municipal employee.
Perlman attended George Washington High School and later Lehman College in New York City.
Lehman College did not have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater at that time. However after his father saw him in the college production of Guys And Dolls, he gave him permission to be an actor and then Perlman attended the University Of Minnesota whereby he graduated with a master's degree in theater in 1973.
Perlman started his career as a stage actor appearing in various productions. His film career started in 1981 in the film Quest For Fire.
His start in films was quite difficult with small parts and minor supporting roles. He had considered abandoning his career. His big breakthrough came when he played the role of Vincent in the TV series Beauty And The Beast.
