It was one of his many collaborations with Guillermo del Toro. He's also quite well known as ex-President of SAMCRO Clay Morrow in Sons of Anarchy.

Perlman made his feature film debut as a caveman in Jean-Jacques Annaud's film Quest for Fire. After various minor and supporting roles in films and television series, his breakthrough role came when he played Vincent in the TV series Beauty and The Beast, opposite Linda Hamilton from 1987 to 1990.
