EAMC Host : send those questions NOW using the INTERACT key Tell me about working on Alien Resurrection You had a big underwater scene tell us about that

EAMC Guest : The underwater scene was something else It's big room we have to traverse to get to our ship in the movie And it happens to be filled with water... It took three weeks to film It was the very first thing we did when we started work on the film's shooting I learned a lot about myself, actually I have a very sort of cavalier approach to physical things, because I take athleticism and physicality for granted but if you don't do the right things and take the proper precautions when you're doing these scenes, mother nature has a way of tapping you on the shoulder ;-) and saying "this is not your day" I literally saw God about five times, in the course of the three weeks.... I was totally out of air... And one time, I heard "cut" from underwater (they had a neat underwater speaker system) and I started to swim for the surface, so you had to be in a certain spot to make it back to the surface-- and I was feeling around trying to find it. It was scary, much more drama then than in the scene before! Luckily nobody was seriously hurt or injured

EAMC Host : Here is our first question from Zanda

Question : Do you think they'll be a Beauty & the Beast reunion movie? B&B was my favorite show, BTW )

EAMC Guest : Thank you Zanda!

EAMC Guest : It was my favorite show as well. It's anybody's guess about the film. There are a lot of us who would like to revisit the wonderful coming together of the mythic characters. By the same token, in the three years we were on the air, we covered a lot of ground, and I feel that, though the show had a lot of richness and depth, the only way we could revisit this subject is to sort of take some kind of radical left turn and occupy a different space than it did before. I have some great ideas where it could go...

EAMC Host : We are chatting live with Ron Perlman from Alien Resurrection Send your questions NOW using the INTERACT key at the top of your screen

EAMC Guest : It was a good show to work on

EAMC Host : For more on Alien Resurrection, go to the Entertainment Asylum at Keyword Asylum

EAMC Guest : One of the strange parts was walking around Hollywood and nobody Knowing what I looked like Those were great days, and I appreciate people woh remember the show and are devoted to it. It was an incredibly special event in my life, and a high-water mark and on that one that has been difficult to top.

EAMC Host : Here is one from Jeahlberg

Question : How did they put the cut on your face ?

EAMC Guest : I have a lot of scars on my face in the movie. We had a talented makeup artist named Barry Koper. I had nothing to do with it! He used a chemical that has some sort of property that actually makes the skin indented-- so you paint it on and it makes the scars. When you put it on, it just pulls the skin right in and looks like a healed scar.

EAMC Host : Do you like doing films with makeup covering?

EAMC Guest : The very first film I ever did was quest for fire... that was a 4 hr makeup job... I had an incredible time playing that characters, a caveman from 80,000 years ago it was an exercise of the imagination instead of an exercise of character playing Later, I heavily lobbied for The Name of the Rose role of the hunchback... Thinking it would push the same artistic buttons, an equally challenging engagement I find the inspiration comes from many different directions, which can be finding the

EAMC Host : Does the makeup and costume give you more character?

EAMC Guest : external which opens the door to the internal emotional.

EAMC Host : Here is one from Peachum3

Question : what was it like working on "city of lost children"?

EAMC Guest : Hello Peachum Thank you for asking

EAMC Guest : It was a pure blessing, I was one of the first people in LA to see Delicatessen and it sounded like something I really needed to run to, and the first 20 minutes of that film was pictorially cinema like nothing I had seen before and I was totally blown away then I settled into the storytelling and suddenly I'm being courted by these guys to be in their 2nd film. I'm reading the script and it's on an even par with Beauty and the Beast in terms of beauty and enchantment. My character, Red, was almost a beast without makeup. Sort of an innocent or country bumpkin given to heroic proportions. The same director who also did Alien Resurrection.

EAMC Host : Let's take another question! Here is one from WileC333

Question : Have you seen any other alien movies

EAMC Guest : WileC, Ridley Scott takes the genre to an entirely different level... The first half of the film, before all hell breaks loose, he's telling a very kitchen sink drama with real, three-dimensional characters who are rather ordinary people in an extraordinary setting, but very engaging and interesting characters. Then they are thrown in with this being, probably the most realized effect in cinema... coming from all over, inside and outside, just terrifying. So I was blown away by the first Alien movie, and then I went out with friends to check out Aliens, and James Cameron is probably the first director in history to come close to topping an original film with a sequel.

EAMC Host : Tell us about Sigourney Weaver What is she really like?

EAMC Guest : Tall!! She's really tall.

EAMC Host : Here is another question from Lindasct

Question : Will you please tell us about your involvement with the film version of "Self Storage"?

EAMC Guest : Hi Lindasct

EAMC Guest : It looks like it will have a small release probably in the spring. It's a film based on a play I did seven years ago at a tiny theater in Los Angeles It's the funniest character I've ever played, Balzac satire It's one of the proudest things I've ever done with regards to cinema I play a guy who is an ex-impressionist... He used to have a standup act, and he was a hit, and then he was discovered to play the role of Gilligan on Gilligan's Island... and then Bob Denver's agent spreads rumors against me so I lose the job and become a serial killer. It's a very, very funny show. Then before I am arrested, these two people option the rights to my life story -) I did about 20 impressions, which was fun

EAMC Host : Here is a technical question for Ron Perlman of Alien Resurrection from JBaker743

Question : If Ripley was incinerated in Alien3, just where do they get the DNA to clone her?

EAMC Guest : JBaker, great question. Luckily I've seen the film! :-) They have blood samples from Alpha Romeo (or whatever the planet is that she died on!) They took some blood samples and from that they are able to get enough DNA after enough great deal of effort to make the clone, which unfortunately consists of her and the alien inside her that died with her when she committed suicide. So the DNA of the alien informs aspects of her physicality... there's some very trippy and pertinent scientific stuff in this film. I was a major fan of the alien films and being asked to participate in one of them was really an E Ticket ride And being in this film is one where my kids get to say to the other kids, "hey you'll never guess what my dad does" :-) I was truly stoked to go to work every day. Being asked to do this one was truly a thrill ride.

EAMC Host : Here is an interesting question from ET3264 for Ron Perlman of "Alien Resurrection"

Question : Do you like working on movies or T.V better? Do you miss your role as Vincent from B & B?

EAMC Guest : Hello ET I do miss playing Vincent But like I said, three years is how long the show was on... and that was three years longer than when I thought we would have to explore the So I enjoyed it thoroughly. By the end of the 2nd season, Catherine came down and saved me because I became very self-destructive. But by the beginning of the 3rd season, she gives birth to my child. Yet in the interim someone kidnaps Catherine, a bad man who wants the baby. Then he waits until the baby is born and kills Catherine and she dies in my arms... So at the beginning of the 3rd season it was me trying to find the child since the man took the child. I ended up finding the baby.

EAMC Host : Here is a good question from Humbugger for Ron Perlman from "Alien Resurrection"

Question : How can we get your agent to find you a lead in a romantic drama where you are still alive at the end?

EAMC Guest : Humbugger! Write letters to your congressman. No, I don't know. Those just aren't the kind of roles that people see me doing. I'm actually pretty happy with the way things have gone.

EAMC Host : Here is one from Dolimir

Question : Mr. Perlman, I've enjoyed your acting ever since seeing you in Beauty an d the Beast, after Alien Resurrection, what else will you be in?

EAMC Guest : Dolimir thank you for the question Self Storage is close to completion. Prince Valiant is into he can and waiting for distribution Another movie called Frogs for Snakes, a small film This is a script that Ed Wood wrote for the last ten years of his life... He completed it and died. His widow had it in a suitcase for ten years... She showed it to one producer who flipped over it and we found the money and did it. The film is called "I Woke Up Early The Day I Died" and it is a silent film Starring Billy Zane and walk-ons from the strangest people, but a great cast of distinguished actors

EAMC Host : Did you dress as a woman?

EAMC Guest : I play a caretaker in a cemetery, actually.

EAMC Host : Here is one from Peachum3

EAMC Guest : No cross dressing. Hi Peachum.

Question : did you do your own stunts in the movie?

EAMC Host : What is the difference between working on a French film and an American film?

EAMC Guest : Everyone works from noon until 7pm and then everyone goes home and that's the shooting day. Other than that, everyone speaks French and it's very much the same.

EAMC Host : What about Magnificent Seven?

EAMC Guest : Aside from Michael Bean who is very close in character... the other characters are very loosely based on the original If anything I'm sort of a nod to the Charles Bronson character. I'm an ex-preacher who has turned his back on the cloth and decided God needed a helping hand with the injustices in the world. It will probably be airing some time in January, a mid-season replacement.

EAMC Host : Here is one from JJohns793: Did you do your own stunts?

EAMC Guest : I got into shape for the film and I've done that before, then I let it go between films It's fun to do. In Aliens, just the way the guy shot it, he wanted us to be doing as much as we could That is about much physical stuff we we've done before. I won't do anything really dangerous. I'm not of that mindset really.

EAMC Host : Here is one from SteveC: What is it like to work with Linda Hamilton?

EAMC Guest : Hi SteveC, great name Linda is a total, one of the most wonderful people on the planet She is a warm endearing unique generous lady And as professional as anyone I've worked with. I've learned a lot about work ethics watching how she jumps into a script

EAMC Guest : But Linda is a joy and someone I consider very dear in my life. I adored working with her. She's aces! Top drawer!

EAMC Host : Here is one from AnA tla:

Question : How is this Alien movie different than the other three?

EAMC Host : Here is one from JNconman82

Question : Where was your movie shot at ?

EAMC Guest : It was shot on the soundstages of 20th Century Fox in Los Angeles That's one nice thing about this film, it's all interiors and I got to commute to work No exotic locations!

EAMC Host : Here is one from Dolimir: what was the most difficult thing about the shoot?

EAMC Guest : The underwater sequence lasted 23 days, and.... it was touchy

EAMC Host : How was it working with Winona Ryder?

EAMC Guest : She is way cool.

EAMC Host : I hear she is very funny

EAMC Guest : She is about as unserious a person in the most delectable sense She is terribly serious about doing good work when the camera is rolling and she is a total pro, but she is a big barrel of laughs A lot of fun, and very unpretentious and really sharp, and bright. A sophisticated, great wit.
