Summary
Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 262 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! You are about to enjoy a very special in depth chat with acting king and all round total badass RON PERLMAN!
“…The artform is being preserved by people who are living on the fringes…”
Even the post-Friday night spirits of London Town can’t keep Ron down, as he joins Pip outside on a Saturday morning for a wonderful talk on all things film, be it behind the scenes, the acting process or the studio side. Ron has gems galore to offer from a very experienced vantage point in the acting game, having been doing just about the most solid job in the profession since his days in school, and you’ll hear it all in very down to earth and real (occasionally wry and sly) style, from his family’s drumming history, his lucky break auditioning at a young age, being scared away from the stage by the film process, glorious analogies, the lack of ‘foreplay’ in modern viewing, the marvel of modern day TV in every aspect, how ‘The Shield’ gave permission for so much in current TV, Sons Of Anarchy and the finding of is audience as well as navigating tricky relationship terrain in and around it, the perils of one-upmanship on set, the family ties of being in a series so long, the wonder of working with Guillermo Del Toro and how Toro fought his corner for 7 years in getting him the part of Hellboy, egoless collaboration, and - most importantly - was Ron responsible for bringing Bros back together? FIND OUT! A true pleasure. Enjoy this one folks.

| 0:00.0 | This is a paid advertisement from Better Help. I've got a really clear memory when I first got a |
| 0:06.6 | dog of being really focused on how important all the things I have to do for this cute little guy |
| 0:13.6 | are. Like I need to make sure he's getting walks every day, fresh air every day, fresh water every |
| 0:21.1 | day, eating good food. And it becomes such a kind of a focus and a drive because you want to do all |
| 0:28.0 | you can for this little creature that you love. But we don't always put that much time and |
| 0:32.8 | attention into what we need for ourselves. Like what are our basic requirements to get through |
| 0:40.6 | life. And we need to focus on that more and Better Help can help with that. With over a thousand |
| 0:46.2 | therapists in the UK already, they can provide access to mental health professionals with a wide |
| 0:51.5 | variety of expertise in mental health. As far as I know, they've not got any that can help dogs, |
| 0:57.4 | but again, as long as you're dealing with that, then they can help you deal with you as well. |
| 1:03.0 | Alistair's get 10% off their first month at BetterHelp.com slash distraction pod. That's better |
| 1:09.5 | B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P.com slash distraction pod. Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction |
| 1:18.5 | pieces podcast. And yes, you saw right in the heading or in the post on social media. Today's guest |
| 1:25.0 | is the legend Ron Polman. I was hugely excited to get to go and talk to Ron. And to not have |
| 1:31.8 | too much restriction on times, it was great. This came about because I saw, I've chatted to Ron a |
| 1:37.7 | few times online and I saw that he was in London. He did some posts on Instagram of some bridges. |
| 1:44.4 | I said he's in London. So I just sent him with the M and said, if you've got any spare time and |
| 1:48.5 | fancy a chat, I'd love to have you on the podcast. And I sent that on the Wednesday and he messes |
| 1:53.3 | back again. Yeah, are you about tomorrow? And I was like, well, they're wrong. I wasn't about |
| 1:59.6 | tomorrow, but I was like, I'm about on Saturday and I'll come down and have a lovely chat. And |
| 2:03.8 | that's exactly what we did. And we recorded it outside and it sounded lovely. I think it gives |
| 2:08.5 | a lovely aesthetic a bit of noise and nature there. And he was just wonderfully open and honest. |
