Transcript

00:00Hand of God is Amazon Prime's next big show, and it stars Ron Perlman.

00:04We're going to go talk to him about the show and probably Hellboy 3.

00:11Okay, so in both of Sons of Anarchy and Hand of God, you play kind of the troubled patriarch.

00:18What attracts you to that kind of character?

00:20I mean, it's always just one thing, and that's just writing.

00:24The writing on both those shows were not like anything I'd ever seen before.

00:29You know, and I've been around a while, so to be able to say that is just a pleasure.

00:34Some piece of shit rapes my daughter-in-law, has my son watch the whole goddamn thing,

00:38and he's walking around free for seven fucking months?

00:40Not from lack of trying.

00:41You know what you can do in seven months if you're trying?

00:44You can build a house from the ground up, go around the world in a sailboat,

00:47and you can have a fucking baby in seven months if you're pressed.

00:50I am pushing this case as hard as if it were my own daughter.

00:53Then you must not give a shit about your own daughter.

00:54You made mention of Hellboy 3.

00:59I want to finish the fucking trilogy.

01:01What is the likelihood and when, and I know a lot of those answers are kind of far-reaching,

01:06but what's your hope for that?

01:08Well, I hope I do it before I'm in a wheelchair.

01:11Literally, without giving it a number, I just reached the age where I'm eligible for Social Security,

01:16so that would probably make me the oldest superhero on record.

01:20I'm still able to walk, and I think it's a good idea if we're going to do the third Hellboy movie

01:25that we do it sometime before I'm no longer able to walk.

01:29Before Ron Perlman is in the wheelchair, we're going to get Hellboy 3.

01:33Can we get a guarantee on that?

01:35No, I can't give you a guarantee.

01:36I can't give you a guarantee on that, but I guarantee that if I have any breaking news,

01:40I'll come to you first.

01:41I sensed a hint, just a hint of sarcasm in that,

01:46but I'm going to take it as fact and tweet it like that.

01:48See how many fuck...

01:49No, just leave me your Twitter handle, and we'll DM each other,

01:53or I'll dub smash you or something.

01:55Hellboy?

01:56You left me for someone named fucking Hellboy?

02:00Okay, The Lich.

02:02You read a lot of those scripts cold, right?

02:04Well, yeah, the fun thing about doing animated projects, just voice acting,

02:08is that you go straight from zero to 60.

02:11You don't rehearse, you don't discuss.

02:13You walk in a room, and they want to get you out of that room as quickly as possible,

02:18so you give a full-blown performance immediately.

02:21And that's kind of how I like to work.

02:23We will sail until every light has been extinguished.

02:27You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength.

02:31I am the end.

02:35If I had your voice, I feel like I would go a lot farther in whatever ventures I do, so...

02:40I agree.

02:41Do you have any...

02:42Do you have any tips to be...

02:45to have your voice?

02:47Four cigars a day and unblended whiskey.

02:50Your voice will end up down around your balls at some point.

02:54Get ready, balls.

02:55My voice is coming.
