Paramount has announced that
actor Ron Perlman has been cast as Shinzon's 'Viceroy' in NEMESIS.
The character is somewhat of a mentor to Shinzon, caring for
him during his youth when abandoned on Remus, the Romulan sisterworld.
The Viceroy is a Reman and described in the script as "Nosferatu-like,"
with a horrifying appearance that includes long, grotesque fingernails.
Perlman's role is easily the
guest spot with the second most screen time in the script, next to the
villain, Shinzon.
The Viceroy is also telepathic
and helps Shinzon invade Counselor Troi's mind at one
point in the film.
Perlman is a veteran of film
and television, most recently working in the upcoming BLADE II
and Paramount's 2001 war film ENEMY AT THE GATES ('Koulikov');
other film credits include 1997's ALIEN: RESURRECTION. He's
also lent his voice to several animated features including TITAN
A.E., AMERICAN TAIL: THE TREASURE OF MANHATTAN ISLAND.
