Ron Masak

was an American actor best known for his eight-year leading role on “Murder, she wrote”. He has played everything from Stanley in “Streetcar Named Desire” to Sakini in “Teahouse of the August Moon”; from Will Stockdale in “No Time For Sergeants” to Marc Antony in “Julius Caesar”. His knack at doing impressions won him a trip around the world as a member of the All Army show. Again, in over 700 shows, he never missed a performance. He was the only military policeman ever to do the show. While in California, Ron met John Sturges and was cast in “Ice Station Zebra”. His filmography is a testament to his range and skill as an actor. He is also a popular talk and game show guest. It was while doing research for his movie role as Mark Twain in “Mark Twain's Greatest Adventure: It's a Matter of Time” that he wrote his one man show “At Home with Mark Twain”. An outstanding athlete, he had his own uniform and worked out with the L.A. Dodgers for over 20 years. He was often introduced as “one of America’s most familiar faces,” but since his eight year run as Sheriff Mort Metzger on Murder, She Wrote, we can safely say that he is "one of the world’s most familiar faces".
