Ron Walton
- Actor
- Producer
Ron started his career as a Radiation Therapist caring for cancer
patients in Delaware and Maryland; eventually leaving the hospital to
become a marketing manager for a Swedish medical device company. After
a number of years in the corporate world, he fell prey to company
downsizing. While contemplating his next career move, Ron learned a
friend was an extra on a television show being filmed in Atlanta. He joined a
Facebook group dedicated to casting Atlanta extras. Within 24 hours, Ron
was headed to set; FOX's latest TV show Past Life was being filmed in
Atlanta. He was cast as the regular stand in for one of the show's lead
actors, Richard Schiff, of West Wing fame. The love affair with acting had
started. Ron was hooked. One day turned into
several months and while Past Life eventually ended production, Ron was
just getting started. He began by taking acting classes, landed roles
in a few independent projects, and eventually caught the eye of talent
agent Jana VanDyke.
