Solitaire Rose Radio 79: Actor/Musician Ronny Cox

If you go to Ronny Cox’s IMDB page, you will see a list of credits showing the definition of a “Working Actor”. From Deliverance to Star Trek: Prodigy, What you may not know is that he is a working musician who (before the pandemic) played over 100 gigs a year. He has done tons of interviews about hsi acting, but I wanted to dig deeper and talk about his roots as a musician, how he found his way back to performing, and all of the side roads along the way./
Ronny’s story is one of true love, friendship, and telling stories and I hope you enjoy this conversation with him.
