Ron Perlman (Hellboy) 2004
Like his co-star Doug Jones, Perlman is not one to shy away from being buried under latex, and his prior stints under prosthetics have included three seasons of Beauty And The Beast and a near-wordless turn in Star Trek: Nemesis. As Hellboy in his long-time friend and collaborator Guillermo del Toro's comic-book adaptation, he bears a superficial resemblance to Tim Curry in Ridley Scott's Legend, but replaces Curry's wordily immobile gravitas with a fully rounded character: taciturn and petulant, but wryly humorous and quick to spring into action. It isn't long before you almost stop noticing the crimson skin and sawn-off horns. Almost.
