- Actor
- Producer
Ron Bush is an American actor known for 'St. Vincent' and 'Bloodline.'
Ron was born in Lakewood, New Jersey (but raised in Toms River), but found himself moving to Georgia for college. Initially, acting was not on his mind. Maybe as a kid, but he hadn't quite gotten the acting bug yet. While attending college at Georgia Tech, Ron Bush received his first exposure to the entertainment world in the form of an open call for background actors for the movie "Sweet Home Alabama." After four days on set, he was hooked. After a short(ish) stint in the 'real world,' working several different 9-5 jobs, Ron found his way back to the entertainment world. Since "Sweet Home Alabama," Ron has been the principal, supporting or lead role in more than 60 movies, commercials and industrial.
In 2011 he won best actor in a zombie feature in the 4th annual dead letter awards and was nominated for best actor in a feature in the World Music and Independent Film Festival, both for his leading role in the feature movie "Zombie Doomsday." This movie was shot in 9 hours and was 100% unscripted Improv.
While Ron grew up in Southern New Jersey, he moved down to Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech for his B.S. in Management and then Georgia State University for an MBA. He then left the Southeast for Baltimore and a short stint at the Smithsonian Institution. Baltimore is also where Ron made the decision to drop it all and make a go at acting full-time. After two years in Baltimore, Ron made the move to NY where he was able to add several more credits to his resume, including a scene with Bill Murray and Naomi Watts in 'St. Vincent,' co-stars in 'Louie' and 'Your Worst Nightmare' and several indie movies. Three years later, he made the move to Atlanta, where production was booming. Here, he was able to book several TV roles, including a Recurring Guest Star on Tyler Perry's show 'Too Close To Home' and a co-starring role on Netflix's hit show 'Bloodline.'
