I will never not tell this story about him. He was doing an AMA on reddit and I mentioned how he was so kind when I met him at a con. The day I met him he had signed a Hellboy poster which I still have and when I left his table I rolled up the poster not thinking that the ink wasn't fully dry.

When I got home and opened it to frame it his signature was smudged all over the poster I was so disappointed. Anyways, we had a weekend pass and my wife at the time was gonna go back with her mom and 3 year old nephew. At this point I didn't care if there was a giant smudge as long as I had a legible autograph.

So my ex goes up there and he agrees to sign it again no charge and one of his assistants had even suggested using hand sanitizer to remove the smudge! When I got the poster back it looked amazing! So I mention this in the AMA and he responds saying not only did he remember it but even asked about Aaron who was my ex's 3 year old nephew. The fact that he remembered a little boys name who he had met 3 years prior at one of dozens of conventions with 1000s of people blew my mind. One of the coolest actors hands down.

Edit: The poster

Here's his reply from the AMA: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/72ucal/sup_muthafuckas_ron_perlman_here_dont_be_shy_ask/dnmqr8g?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

But what about Hellboy with a Ron Perlman pipe?
