Tomorrow, April 14: Brad Ausmus
White we lived in Washington Heights in Manhattan, I met Ron Perlman’s mother who went to the same shul I went to. She was extremely friendly and proud of her son. When I was working on my doc. film “L’Chayim Comrade Stalin!” about the history of the Jewish Autonomous Region, better known as Birobidzhan I asked Mrs. Perlman if I might ask her son to be the narrator of my film. She put me in contact with him and we worked together on the narration. He was a real pro and he added a lot to the film. His baritone timbre gave the film more gravitas.
