Ron founded the Darfstellar theater with acting school friends, worked in daytime TV, was tongue-tied sitting next to David Bowie in a LA dive bar, and spent 20+ years as a federal policy wonk. He brings gravitas, reliability, and playfulness to his work. The Washington Baltimore area is home. https://ronlakeactor.com/
