Born Daniel Ronald Cox on 23rd July, 1938 in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, USA, he is famous for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in a career that spans 1972-present. She is survived by her husband and two sons; by her granddaughter Catherine; by her sisters Joyce Hansen of Elk Horn, Iowa; Alice Hansen of Mesa, Arizona; Kathryn Carol McNair of Ashland, Oregon; and Jane Wittrup of Albuquerque, New Mexico; by her two brothers, John Griffith of Seattle, Washington, and Gene Griffith of Sonoma, California; and by numerous nieces and nephews. In one scene, he plays the instrumental "Dueling Banjos" on his guitar with a banjo-playing mountain boy, played by child actor Billy Redden. Deliverance led to Apple’s Way, and a move to Los Angeles. Cox occasionally has done animation work, lending his voice to the Tyrusian deserter Doc in Invasion America and Senator McMillan in Todd McFarlane's Spawn.

“To me, the story is equally as important as the song,” Ronny says. Cox also portrayed John Ramsey in the 2000 TV film Perfect Murder, Perfect Town and Senator/Vice President Robert Kinsey in Stargate SG-1.

He also appeared as Mr. Webb in a television production of Our Town. “I want it to feel like when we were kids sitting in the living room or the kitchen or on the front porch, sharing stories and songs with our family,” he says. He played Pappy McCallister, the husband of Molly Kagan's best friend Joan.

“It was 20 years ahead of its time,” Ronny insists. (At the D.C. club Mr. Henry’s, Roberta Flack performed in an upstairs room while he played downstairs.). “Sometimes, with real, true, honest stories, the punch line just doesn’t come in the right place,” he clarifies.

[15] Cox also leads a musical tour to Ireland each year. With acting, there is — and must be — that imaginary fourth wall between you and the audience.

“For the longest time, I had to live down being an actor,” Ronny remembers. Then Deliverance came. Cox guest-starred in an episode of Diagnosis Murder entitled "The Pressure to Murder", episode 9, season three. With my show, there’s a profound one-on-one sharing that can take place.”.

And when Ronny stands on a stage and sings to an audience, he’s able to make an even stronger connection. But it’s the only show I’ve ever been involved with where everybody in the cast went to work every day whether we were called or not, because we just couldn’t stay away. But Ronny got that first role because he could play, and Bound for Glory as well.

Cox's first role in a big-budget film came in 1984 as Lt. Andrew Bogomil in Beverly Hills Cop, and he returned to the role in Beverly Hills Cop II in 1987. She enjoyed bird-watching, needlepoint and running. Early on, it was western swing; later, while studying theater and speech correction at Eastern New Mexico University, he became part of the “folk scare.”. He actually greets them personally, even if they number in the hundreds, and avoids opening acts — because, he says, “I am the opening act.” Even before he takes the stage, he’s setting the tone, one of warmth and familiarity. But Ronny is hardly ready to rest on his laurels. You can hear that pleasure on his 10 albums, some with amusing titles like Songs … with Repercussions and Acoustic Eclectricity (he’s also done a DVD, Songs, Stories … and Out & Out Lies, and an audio autobiography, Dueling Banjos: the Deliverance of Drew). The cause of death was lung cancer.

She was a valued member of a wide-spread community of folk-singers. Mary died in 2006, 50 years to the day of their first date. “Mary and I lived the first 11 years of our marriage hand-to-mouth, just a struggling actor/ graduate-student existence with two small boys,” Ronny recalls.

In it, he sings another original, “Silver City.”. These days, he turns down most acting offers so he can spend more time onstage, at events such as the annual Folk Alliance International Festival and Conference, held each February, or July’s Woodyfest, in Woody Guthrie’s hometown of Okemah, Oklahoma, or January’s 30A Songwriters Festival, which stretches along the coastal road of Florida’s panhandle. He also delivered entire shows featuring only songs by Texas-born Mickey Newbury, one of Nashville’s most beloved tunesmiths. [4] Cox graduated from Eastern New Mexico University in 1963 with a double major in theater and speech correction. Ronny Cox’s Wikipedia entry describes him as an actor, singer-songwriter and storyteller, but as far as he’s concerned, it’s the other way around.

[12], Cox played Walter Kenney in Dexter, season six, episode three ("Smokey and the Bandit").[13]. The couple married in 1960 and had two kids. Despite earning praise, his self-titled debut album went nowhere. “Storyteller” definitely comes first.
