"I'm not a gamer," Perlman says in the interview. "I wouldn't know how to put a game—I wouldn't know which game goes into which piece of hardware. I've never played any of the games. The whole Fallout thing is a mystery to me."
Ya, not everyone is going to be into video games. For someone who just does some voice work, that seems pretty reasonable.
Could at least watch a video on it
For what reason? Actors just do their jobs like anyone else, doesn’t mean they need to be interested in the material themselves. Plenty of actors don’t watch everything they’re in
This was my same feeling when someone posted a similar quote by Goggins. I fucking love fallout, and everything fromsoft, but those aren't for all gamers, and games aren't for everyone.
Let people live their lives how they want.
Ron Perlman is a gift, even if he isn't a gamer 🙏
There quiet of few of his movies that I enjoy even ones that are considered not very good b-movies.
Have never thought of to see a movie for him but he's always done great work from what I recall, usually acts quite proficient and such. Plus no real bad quotes or scandals so always thought he was pretty good for that too. Unless I missed something which happens.
Think the only random movie I saw him in was Lost City of Children, but it's been almost 30 years now so can't even recall what it was about. Just my roommate at the time enjoyed it so we watched it once or twice. I should watch it again.
...What kind of sandwich?
thanks for your service
The intro they speak of is the phrase “War. War never changes”. That article could have been a single paragraph.
His turns in Fallout are especially interesting because they're his most iconic videogame work, and yet it's only four simple words: "War. War never changes." The intro to each Fallout game spins off differently from there, but those four words are an essential pillar of the series, every bit as thematically foundational as power armor or Nuka Cola.
I’m so jaded these days I can see a writer doing a few paragraphs, and asking an LLM to fluff it up.
Writers were turning sentences into full articles long before LLMs, though
True, but that at least took some time and effort. Now the production of slop has been automated.
I want $40 and a sandwich
Just do us an iconic and eternal art piece and we might be able to come up with $30 and a hotdog.
You didn't say the 4 words, though.
I am Ron Perlman?
Then, according to this article, you have $40 and a sandwich. We did it.
I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman I am Ron Perlman.
There, now I can afford 2 or 3 bags of groceries
I want $40 and a sandwich
Only after the last tree has been cut down / Only after the last river has been poisoned / Only after the last fish has been caught / Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
I don't recommend $40 in a sandwich.
Money can be exchanged for goods and services
It wasn't serious
And my Simpsons quote was?
I was blessed/cursed by ignorance.
Article does not specify what kind of sandwich. Disappointed.
Molerat and tato.
What kind of sandwich?
I didn't realise Pearlman voiced the intro.

According to the video, neither did Perlman:
A year and a half later, I get a call, 'Hey, you remember Fallout?' No.
I'm pretty sure that he did more than just the into, though. There's a bunch of narration in, for example, the Fallout: New Vegas ending covering what happens to all the characters and factions depending upon the decisions you made, and I'm pretty sure that that's the same narrator.

Perlman narrated the following cutscenes in the Fallout games listed below. The intro narration in each of these games starts with the iconic line, "War. War never changes." He did not narrate Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel or Fallout 4, though he did voice a prominent character (the television newscaster) in Fallout 4's prologue and appeared in its first trailer.

Not all the end game New Vegas lines are Perlman, he does the ones pertaining to the Courier, but prominent characters in certain factions/towns do the VO for a lot of the end game slides depending on your actions.
Me neither. It always sounded like Robert Beltran, Chakotay on Star Trek Voyager.
It always reminded me of Slade from Teen Titans who I just now realized was played by Ron Pearlman
it always reminded me of charlie chaplin.
Also, oddly enough, played by Ron Perlman.
