“Ron Perlman returns as Hellboy for awesome reason”

Wow, this is terrific. Ron Perlman has always come across as a big teddy bear, and acts like this prove my suspicions. Offering a surprisingly warm start to another week of cold show business news, Ron Perlman instantly became one of the nicest celebrities you know by agreeing to reprise his role as Hellboy—not for […]
