Ron is often introduced as “one of America’s most familiar faces,” and since his eight year run as Sheriff Mort Metzger on Murder, She Wrote, he has become “one of the world’s most familiar faces. Trained in the Classics at CCC in Chicago, Ron has proven himself equally at home on stage or screen, with Shakespeare or slapstick. Professionally, he has played everything from Stanley in Streetcar Named Desire to Sakini in Teahouse of the August Moon; from Will Stockdale in No Time For Sergeants to Marc Antony in Julius Caesar. More proof of his versatility was seen in Mr. Roberts, where in one production he played Ensign Pulver and in another production, Mr. Roberts himself. He was resident leading man at the Candlelight Theatre in Chicago for three and a half years, where he never missed a performance. His knack at doing impressions won him a trip around the world as a member of the All Army show. Again, in over 700 shows, he never missed a performance. He was the only military policeman ever to do the show.
