Thanks to the popular Hellboy movie franchise and the Sons of Anarchy television series, the distinct face of actor Ron Perlman has become popular and easily recognizable, but did you know he’d been using his talents for voice-acting roles since the early 1990s?

With one of the most instantly identifiable voices to ever be articulated, Perlman boasts an impressive and diverse repertoire of well over 1oo voice-acting credits across a vast collection of movies, TV shows, and video games, with several more currently in development. So to honor the Golden Globe winner, we’re recognizing his ten most iconic voice-acting performances.

10 Mickey Kaline – Hey Arnold! (1996-2004)

Those who grew up enjoying Nickelodeon’s Hey Arnold! series may recognize star baseball player Mickey Kaline, Arnold’s hero who had a career batting average of .299 with 533 home runs, before his final game that is.

When Mickey announces his impending retirement, Arnold attends the star’s last game, where Mickey smashes a home run in his final at-bat, which is poetically caught by Arnold. Arnold later meets his idol when he returns his home run ball, prompting Mickey to deliver a passionately heartfelt speech over a game of catch with Arnold. Mickey returns in season three to again give Arnold life advice in a time of need.

9 Ramon Limon – Archer (2009 – Present)

Perlman stepped out of his comfort zone to play the homosexual Cuban spy Ramon Limon in the Archer season one episode “The Honeypot,” where top spy Sterling Archer attempts to seduce Limon and film the sexual encounter to ensure that Limon doesn’t blackmail Sterling’s mother with a sex tape he’s obtained of her.

In typical Archer fashion, things don’t go according to plan. After Limon initially dismisses Sterling, the two start to genuinely bond, just before Sterling’s two contacts double-cross and attempt to kill him. Ramon returns for more laughs and homoerotic tension in season five’s “Archer Vice: A Kiss While Dying”.

8 The Stabbington Brothers – Tangled (2010)

Sideburns and Patchy Stabbington (both voiced by Perlman) are a pair of thieves that may not ultimately be the main antagonists in Disney’s Tangled, but they’re certainly responsible for most of the villain’s dirty work as henchmen.

A muscular set of twins whose faces kind of resemble Perlman’s, the Stabbington brothers selfishly change their allegiance multiple times throughout the story to try and wind up on the side they perceive to have the upper hand, and seem to prioritize themselves over all else. Perlman reprised his role in Tangled: The Series (2017-2020).

7 Mr. Lancer – Danny Phantom (2004 – 2007)

A male cheerleader at Casper High School in his teenage years, Mr. Lancer went on to become the vice principal of his alma mater, where series star Danny Fenton attends school.

Mr. Lancer initially comes off as a cantankerous educator who takes his job too seriously in the show’s early episodes, but he later proves to be a brave ally and a fair, forgiving, and caring man in the show’s TV movie “The Ultimate Enemy.” In a series that features no shortage of amusing comic relief characters, the teacher who frequently ejaculates classic literature titles is consistently the funniest.

6 The Narrator – Fallout Franchise (1997 – Present)

“War. War never changes.” Fans of the Fallout video-game franchise will recognize these iconic words that begin the monologue that precedes each of the main games in the popular post-apocalyptic role-playing series. The monologue varies in each game, but the first line, just like war, does not change.

Perlman narrates all but one game – Fallout 4 – but his voice still narrates the game’s trailer and is featured in the game as a newscaster. He also voices the Butch Harris character in the first Fallout game.

5 Clayface – Batman Animated Series (1992-1999)

A Batman villain with a tragic story, Clayface was originally Matt Hagen, an actor horribly disfigured in a car accident. He uses an experimental serum to restore his looks at the cost of being forced to commit crimes for the serum’s creator. When Hagen resists the dirty work, the creator’s goons attempt to give Hagen a lethal dose, which turns him into the villainous and bulky shape-shifting Clayface.

An extremely early voice role for Perlman, the fact that it led to such an illustrious career speaks to how memorable his performance is. Perlman also voiced Clayface in Justice League (2001-2004) and a 2003 Batman video game.

4 The Lich – Adventure Time (2010 – 2018)

The primary antagonist for Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time, characters don’t come much eviler than the Lich, an ancient manifestation of death’s inevitability. Claiming to exist before time itself, he was brought to Earth by a comet before being released thanks to a bomb detonation in the apocalyptic Mushroom War.

Initially trapped in an ancient tree, the relentless Lich eventually escapes and plays major roles in subsequent season arcs. Finn and Jake battle and overcome the Lich numerous times throughout the series, but are unable to ever permanently vanquish the immortal evil.

3 Justice – Afro Samurai (2007)

The Afro Samurai miniseries had no shortage of formidable opponents for the titular hero (Samuel L. Jackson), but none more sinister than Justice, who decapitates Afro’s father in the show’s opening scene, inspiring Afro to devote his life to exacting revenge.

The murder gives Justice the Number One headband, which gives the wearer literal god status. The only one that can challenge the Number One is the wearer of the Number Two headband, which Afro soon acquires. Anyone can challenge the Number Two though, forcing Afro to slash through several challengers in pursuit of Justice. The series spawned a movie in 2009, and both are currently streaming on Hulu.

2 Hellboy – Hellboy Animated Franchise (2006 – 2007)

Perlman’s signature role is that of Hellboy in the 2004 and 2008 live-action movies, but did you know he also voiced the character in a pair of Hellboy animated movies in between?

Perlman’s voice brings the same nuance to the animated iteration of his character when he journeys to Japan to battle the ancient demons Thunder and Lightning in the Emmy-nominated Hellboy: Sword of Storms. A year later, the sequel – Hellboy: Blood and Iron – saw the hero take on ghosts, werewolves, witches, and vampires to save mankind again.

1 Slade – Teen Titans (2003 – 2006)

The titular team of teenage heroes battles powerful enemies from space and hell throughout Teen Titans, none of which are as menacing as the criminal mastermind Slade Wilson (AKA Deathstroke) – the show’s primary antagonist.

While his physical strength and firepower make the seemingly unkillable Slade formidable, his most destructive weapon is his brain. His evil genius makes him a dangerously manipulative puppeteer, and the terrifying charisma and vile authority portrayed in Perlman’s voice-acting play a major part in conveying that. Perlman reprised the role in the 2013 animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.
