Ronald Patrick Thompson

Born May 18, 1981 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada of Caribbean and Austrian descent, Ronald didn't always know he was going to be an actor. Throughout high school, sports dominated his interests playing on the basketball, soccer, and track teams while accumulating several medals for his feats along the way. He also coached three high school basketball teams as a senior, securing a district championship with one of them alongside co-coaches Andrew Carlisle and Rohit Aggarwal. After graduating from Gladstone Public School he went on to attend Cornwall Collegiate & Vocational School (CCVS) for his secondary studies enrolling in their "Program of the Arts" program after a successful audition. He completed two years of advanced drama classes and in grade 13 starred as Leroy in a production of the popular musical "Fame". After graduating from high school, Ronald's acting ambitions faded, he returned to Montreal to pursue his dreams of playing college basketball. While enrolled at Dawson College, Ronald made it to the very last tryouts of Dawson's AA men's basketball program where he tore his ACL in his right knee. Opting not to have surgery, he spent one year rehabilitating his knee and would try out for the team the following year. Unfortunately he never got the chance due to tearing the ACL in his left knee. It was then Ronald decided to travel overseas and spent 5 1/2 years in Taiwan exploring southeast Asia. In 2008 Ronald landed in Vancouver, enrolled in New Image College's professional acting program and has since had some film and TV success with the Independent film Hanger, and small parts on well know series'.
