Trivia:
During the show's run, Ron Perlman turned down countless requests to promote products in his Vincent make-up, saying that, "He's not there to be exploited." more
Goofs:
Continuity: In the first part of “Though Lovers Be Lost”, Catherine stands on her balcony, waiting for Vincent to come. She is wearing a green coat. When she realizes Vincent isn't coming, she heads for the tunnels. But when she arrives there, she is wearing a totally different coat, and her hair is falling different as well. more
Quotes:
[opening credits narration]
Vincent: This is where the wealthy and the powerful rule. It is her world... a world apart from mine. Her name... is Catherine. From the moment I saw her, she captured my heart with her beauty, her warmth, and her courage. I knew then, as I know now, she would change my life... forever.
Catherine Chandler: He comes from a secret place, far below the city streets, hiding his face from strangers, safe from hate and harm. He brought me there to save my life... and now, wherever I go, he is with me, in spirit. For we have a bond stronger than friendship or love. And although we cannot be together, we will never, ever be apart.

Linda Hamilton was very Beautiful in this Series..., 21 February 2001
9/10
Author: Magellan Grey from New York City, New York

I don't think there is any movie or series that made Linda look so beautifully stunning than in Beauty and the Beast. She was rendered simply beautiful and her acting was very reaching and touching. Ron Perlman was very masculine and ruggedly sexy under all that makeup. I am sure the two of them enjoyed themselves immensely because it translated through their performances to the viewer. I am only sorry that the series ended after only 3 seasons.
