Very sad. I had lunch with him once. He was an extremely smart and articulate man. I always imagined he would go into politics.

I saw him in that production of "Speed The Plow." He kicked Piven's ass. He will be missed.

He played Charlie Fox, not Bobby Gould.

Very sorry to hear that. He was a fine actor and I'll never forget his performance in Speed-the-Plow. RIP, Ron. You will be missed.

If only he hadn't become a staunch, vocal supporter of George W. Bush and practically called John Kerry a coward at the Republican National Convention in 2004, I might be a bit more devastated by this news, but it is sad to hear he died at such a young age.
