Editor's Note: In 2001, the war film "Soldiers In the City" directed by French director Jean Jacques Arnold, let us see the contest between the top snipers in The Second World War, the gunmanship of 100 steps through Yang and the dazzling sniper tactical arrangement, which still make fans talk about it today. While we set our sights on Jude Lowe and Ed Harris, let's not forget the weird-looking sniper uncle whose name is Ron Pullman. Although he received the box lunch early in the film, the picture of him being directly sniped in a big leap moment is still fresh in people's minds, and we will get to know this special American uncle below.
When the name Ron Pullman is mentioned, many people may feel unfamiliar with this well-known American actor. But when it comes to the title of "Hellboy", people unconsciously think of the series of comic films "Hellboy". What is even more striking is that Ron Pullman's face full of barbarism is also unforgettable.
In fact, Ron Pullman is not a male star with a strong box office appeal, and in many movies, he can only appear in a supporting role with few roles, leaving him little room to play. From the film for so many years, he has always insisted on his own style, but has accumulated a huge number of fans.
What makes Ron Pullman an idol in the hearts of everyone? Simply put, it is six points of acting, two points of opportunity, and one point of looks.
In 1990, when a variety show of CCTV "Zhengda Variety" launched a TV series "Heroic Lion" in the "Zhengda Theater", in the era when television was not yet popular, this foreign drama imported from overseas attracted a large number of domestic audiences to watch, becoming the best memory of the childhood of the post-80s generation.
The series tells the beautiful and touching love story between a lion-faced man and a female lawyer living in a different world. Although the story is simple, it is very beautiful, and the male protagonist Vincent has become the favorite of many people.
The male and female protagonists of The Brave Lion are played by Ron Pullman and Linda Hamilton, respectively. Prior to this, because of his temperament, Ron Pullman could only play some strange roles in some niche movies, and under the strong promotion of Jean Jacques Arnold, he won the male lead of the drama series "The Heroic Lion", playing the lion-faced man, and truly achieved a breakthrough in his acting career.
Linda Hamilton was a hit in the 1980s and 1990s, collaborating with Arnold Schwarzenegger on several Terminator films and was the fourth wife of renowned director James Cameron. Being able to star with such a mainstream actress has greatly enhanced Ron Pullman's fame.
Ron Pullman is still self-aware of his rugged looks, because his appearance is indeed very special. He once tweeted on social networking sites in a self-deprecating tone: "Please, I know I'm like this cat, but please don't send me this picture." ”
If he hadn't brought the Lion-Faced Man to life in The Lion, it would have been difficult for us to associate him with certain animals.
In Ron Pullman's acting career, the person he needs to thank most is the French director Jean Jacques Arno, a multi-talented director who won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and worked with Ron Pullman many times in his early days. It can be said that without his strong introduction, there would be no Ron Pullman's achievements today.
Jean-Jacques Arnold not only left the role of Ron Pullman in many of the films he directed, but also carefully guided him in the transformation of his acting style and put his career on the right track, which can be said to be Ron Pullman's life teacher.
Today, Lon Pullman is nearly seventy years old, and his golden age is gone, but he has not retreated from the trend of the big screen, but has broken out of his own world in the film and television circle. Although the person looks a little ugly, although most of them play marginal supporting roles, there are not a few fans who like him.
Despite his advanced age, Ron Pullman still loves to appear in large-scale commercial films, showing his powerful aura while bringing more works to audiences.
In public information, it is difficult to search for photos of Lon Pullman when he was young, and in middle age he looked no different from ordinary people, only feeling that the proportion between the eyebrows was somewhat out of balance. In fact, the way he laughed was still quite funny, and his tall figure made him look cool and imposing.
Many people are also reluctant to compliment Ron Pullman's appearance, some people describe him as a primate like an orangutan, and recently someone has joked about him on the face of a cat, and some people think that he is born with a horror movie face. In any case, he does look very characteristic, and it is also very inconsistent with the current mainstream aesthetic.
Whether it is "The Brave Lion" or "Hellboy", when Ron Pullman took off his hood and removed the actor's makeup to keep his true face, everyone eased up from his cool and handsome role performance, and only then did he sigh that the movie role was better than himself. With the blessing of his strength and acting skills, he has created many tough guy-type characters, and the deep popularity of these roles has exceeded the expectations of his "true face of Lushan".
In the classic sniper movie "Soldiers In the City", Ron Pullman becomes a member of the Soviet sniper squad, fighting alongside the sharpshooter "Vasily" played by Jude Law. In the movie, we admire his skillful sniper tactics and accurate marksmanship, and we are also tired of his chatter, and even more impressed by his steel teeth.
Although the appearance time is not much, the end is also very tragic, but we still remember the sniper uncle who was killed by the sniper in the sports war.
In fact, everyone prefers the role of "Hellboy" played by Ron Pullman in the superhero movie "Hellboy" adapted from the American Dark Horse Comics. This character has a lot of personality under his interpretation and is more humane than in the comics.
Perhaps, Ron Pullman's strong body and rugged appearance are very much in line with the character settings in the original comics, especially the murderous spirit revealed between his eyebrows, which has become the best version of "Hellboy".
Also in the commercial blockbuster "Pacific Rim", Ron Pullman once again contributed his acting skills as a starring actor. In this sci-fi monster movie, he wears sunglasses and wears glossy clothes like a high-powered leader, with eye-catching performances, and his wearing in the play once again proves the hard truth that movie characters are better than real people.
From the chivalrous tenderness of the Lion-Faced Man to the grumpy and rough nature of the Hellboy, the characters played by Ron Pullman have been branded with their own acting style. You can call him an acting tough guy, you can also call him a childlike sir, he always has one aspect of success to attract your attention.
As an actor trained in traditional acting and learning professional skills, Ron Pullman knows that inner acting is more important than appearance, not to mention that he is so rude. In his early career plans, he made comedians his goal, a testament to his comedic talent. The older he gets, the more he wants to try those childlike characters, and the ability to be funny is still there.
Because the role of "Hellboy" in the Hellboy series of movies has become popular, Ron Pullman is well known for his rough personality. As everyone knows, people who have seen his true face of Lushan are difficult to associate him with the lion-faced Humanity Scent at that time.
Although many of the characters required Ron Pullman to wear heavy masks and costumes, these did not stop his performance, and still used colorful expressions to increase the recognition of the characters. As he grew older, he also became more and more sturdy and calm, and became more and more attractive to his uncle.
Whether it's a cameo or a minor supporting role, Ron Pullman tries his best to play the role well. After so many years of acting precipitation, he also used practical actions to prove that he is not a bad film professional, but an impressive old actor, nothing more.
