When Ron was performing in the Studio 180-HGJT production of My Name is Asher Lev, I was struck by the fact that audience members refused to believe that he wasn’t as Jewish as the role he’d played onstage. But that is precisely what defines Ron Lea, an actor who so completely inhabits the characters he plays, whether on stage, on film or television.
In our conversation, Ron walks us through his professional and personal life with the simple, straightforward approach that he seems to take with life.
Ron’s professional ‘road trip’ from Montreal to Toronto to Los Angeles to Vancouver and back to Toronto is told without missing the hard bits. How does a family with twin infants relocate and then relocate again in a foreign country? When the work takes you away from your family for months at a time – in one year when you see your family for no more than a few days in total – how does the family negotiate its own way forward?
Sitting down with Ron while he revisited the stages of his life was a real honour.
