*A native of East Providence, RI—Ron McLarty is a veteran actor, accomplished playwright, prolific audiobook narrator and acclaimed novelist.
As a television actor, McLarty has over 100 appearances to his credit. He has been a series regular on Spenser For Hire, Champs, Cop Rock & The Return of Jezebel James in addition to the recurring role of Judge Wright on Law & Order. His most recent appearances include Rescue Me, Sex & The City, The Practice, Judging Amy and Law & Order :SVU as well as playing Fred Trump, Sr. in Donald Trump: Unauthorized.
His career in film began in 1977 with a performance in The Sentinel and continued with such films as The Postman, Into the Fire, Heartburn, Two Bits, Flamingo Kid and most recently the untitled James L. Brooks film with Jack Nicholson and Paul Rudd. He was a 1984 nominee for an ACE Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic or Theatrical Program for the movie, Tiger Town.
As a stage actor, McLarty has appeared in numerous productions including starring on Broadway in Moonchildren, Championship Season and Our Country's Good. He has also written dozens of plays, which have been produced across the country.
McLarty is also noted for his body of work as one of the country’s leading audiobook narrators having done over 100 titles including the narration of books authored by Stephen King, Danielle Steel, Richard Russo, Elmore Leonard, Ed McBain, David Baldacci and Scott Turow, among many others.
It was his collaboration with Stephen King that led to his emergence as a published novelist of national repute. Beginning with the early years of his career, McLarty’s passion for writing led him to completing 10 novels, in addition to his plays but his efforts to interest a publishing house were unsuccessful. Several years ago he was able to persuade Recorded Books into producing his 3rd novel, The Memory of Running, directly onto tape as an audiobook. It is believed to be the first recorded audiobook of an unpublished novel. Stephen King listened to it in 2002 and wrote his entire column “The Pop of King” about Memory calling it “the best book you can’t read”. This lead to the publication of The Memory of Running in the USA and fourteen other countries around the world. In January 2007 his second novel, Traveler was published to critical and popular acclaim and the paperback is due out in April 2008. It was also published in the UK as Traveller in 2008, in France as Retour a Providence as well as a Spanish Language version titled, Viajero . His 3rd novel, Art in America is due out in July 2008.
He has received from Rhode Island College in Providence an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities (2007) and the Charles B. Willard Achievement Award (2005).
The Memory of Running was chosen as the 2007 selection for the Reading Across Rhode Island program.
He lives in New York City with his wife, the actress Kate Skinner.
