WHO DOESN'T?:

'Hellboy' star is at ease in his mask (Rick Bentley, 7/08/08, FRESNO BEE)

Ron Perlman has a face made for makeup. But he's OK with that.

He says some of the most comfortable roles of his career have been those that called for lots of makeup. That list includes mane man Vincent in the TV series Beauty and the Beast and his title character in Hellboy.

"I was more comfortable behind the mask than naked like this," Perlman says during an interview at the Four Seasons Hotel, talking about Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which opens Friday. "The makeup made me freer because it was no longer me. It was a transformed version of me. It made acting more possible."

He was great in "City of Lost Children", too, without makeup. It's in French, though, so OJ probably won't watch it.

And doesn't have Audrey Tautou, Juliette Binoche or Jean Reno.
