Separated at Birth: Ron Perlman & Tom Waits
October 21st, 2009 by Seth

Here’s a fun one that dawned on me yesterday after two meetings.
In the first my co-worker couldn’t come up with Ron Perlman’s name.
In the second I ended up singing Tom Waits’ “I Don’t Wanna Grow Up”

The tale of the tape (now with extra pictures!):

Date of Birth April 13, 1950 December 7, 1949
Hair Wavy Curly
Facial Hair Mustache Soul Patch
Voice Gravelly Growl
Smokes Cigars Cigarettes
Headgear Movie makeup/prosthetics Hats
Romeo Is Bleeding Film Song

I don’t think they’re dead-on ringers or anything, but their voices and personalities seem awfully close.

Minor connections/coincidences: As noted above Perlman was in the movie Romeo Is Bleeding (starring Gary Oldman) which took its name from a Waits song. Oldman and Waits appeared in Dracula one year prior to the release of the film version of Romeo Is Bleeding.

Maybe I should have included Oldman as well. He looks a bit like Waits.

    I don’t really think these two are a good match, but I think Will Ferrell looks more like Perlman then Waits.
