Total Recall: Ron Perlman's Best Movies
When Nicolas Cage goes up against the forces of the supernatural in Season of the Witch this weekend, he'll have another awesome wig and his very best intense/befuddled stare in his arsenal. But to really improve his odds of victory, he'll need something more -- like the imposing menace of Ron Perlman, occasional Hellboy and character actor supreme. Whether he's appeared au naturel or under makeup, worked live action or voiced animated characters, Perlman's distinctive talent has been entertaining audiences for 30 years, and he's assembled an eclectic filmography along the way. It's about time Ron Perlman received the Total Recall treatment, wouldn't you say?

Five Favorite Films with Ron Perlman
While he's become best known for portraying a red, horned antihero in Guillermo del Toro's popular comic book adaptations Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Ron Perlman has long been a favorite character actor among fantasy and science fiction fans thanks to his work in films like Quest for Fire, The City of Lost Children, Cronos, and Blade II. This week, the classically-trained actor (who is between seasons on his critically acclaimed FX series, Sons of Anarchy) stars in Mutant Chronicles as Brother Samuel, a monk dedicated to guarding a set of scriptures that predict the coming of an ancient enemy. Rotten Tomatoes talked with Perlman about his favorite movies and directors, whose films he watches when he's having a rough day, and his remembrances of working alongside one of his idols, Marlon Brando.
