The engaging, passionate, alwayshonest, and oftenhilarious memoir of actor Ron Perlmanhis triumphant story of perseverance and determination navigating the slippery slopes of Hollywood, with a foreword by Guillermo del ToroRon Perlman was a kid who had a myriad of selfimage issues, yet he triumphed in an industry that trades on image and selfconfidence. He landed a leading role in Quest for Fire. He won a Golden Globe for Beauty and the Beast. And he played the title role in two Hellboy movies, becoming along the way an icon among scifi and comic book fans worldwide.Although his name may be unknown to some, most people know Ron Perlman's face, despite the fact that for nearly half his career he's been disguised under featurealtering foamrubber prosthetics. On his offbeat path to success, Ron has amassed nearly 200 stage, TV, voiceover, and major motion picture credits, including roles in Drive, Pacific Rim, and a sixyear gig as the badass biker boss Clay Morrow in Sons of Anarchy.In Easy Street (the Hard Way), Ron shares his life story, starting with his upbyyourbootstraps background in New York's Washington Heights. His father, a Swing Era drummer, gave up his dream in order to feed his sons while his mother worked as a municipal clerk. Ron's hardearned road to Easy Street included bouts of abject poverty, heartbreaking familial episodes, and a long, often uncomfortable struggle for selfacceptance.He sheds light on his life as a working actor and also offers behindthescenes insight into the working styles of internationally famous directors, including JeanJacques Annaud, JeanPierre Jeunet, and Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy and Academy Awardwinning Pan's Labyrinth). He provides his own peek into Hollywood, up close and personal, where he has encountered the likes of Marlon Brando, Sean Connery, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., and others. Plus, he turns his eye on the trajectory of American culturethe good and the badas observed by a man who started out in a momandpop world where the arts were disseminated by individuals rather than corporations.Easy Street (the Hard Way) will inspire anyone who has ever dared to dream and offers a roadmap to the next generation of dreamers.
