Ron Donachie was born Ronald Eaglesham Porter on April 26, 1956 in Dundee, Tayside, Scotland. He was educated at Madras College, St. Andrews and Glasgow University, from where he graduated with an M.A (Hons.) in English Literature and Drama in 1979. After a year working as a navvy, he joined the 7.84 theatre company for John Burrough's "One Big Blow", in which the cast mimicked a traditional, colliery band by singing in six part harmony. The success of the play led to the formation of the acapella band "The Flying Pickets", who had a Christmas number one in 1983. Donachie's decision not to stay with the band and thereby missing out on their success has been described by him as "one of my more brilliant career decisions." Throughout the 1980s, he was a prolific theatre performer all across the United Kingdom, working in Britain's now largely vanished repertory system. This afforded him the opportunity to act in many classical plays which are now rarely performed due to budget constraints and closed theatres. During this period, he appeared in over twenty plays at the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre under its famous triumvirate of Giles Havergal, Robert David Macdonald and Phillip Prowse. Like many performers with similar experience, he considers this the happiest, most fruitful and most influential phase of his career. In the 1990s, he became a regular performer on British television, and did not appear on stage again until unexpectedly asked to join the National Theatre company for "Scenes From the Big Picture" in 2003. This ended a gap in live performance of thirteen years. Since then, he has tried to return to the variety of his earlier years with regular live performances interspersing his television and film work. Married on St. Patrick's Day 1989 to Fiona Biggar, the couple have two children: Naomi Porter, a student of Russian, German and French, and Daniel Porter, who now performs in his own right under the name of Daniel Portman. His sister-in-law is the costume designer Trisha Biggar and his brother is the actor Stewart Porter.

Born in New York, raised in Alaska, and now building an acting career in Los Angeles, Ron Eliot is anything but predictable. With acting work is as diverse as his background, Ron has portrayed a variety of roles. From the rough cowboy in "Last Kind Words" to the socially awkward assistant in the indie film "White on Rice," to gay personal trainer in the indie "Boy Trouble," to rifle shooting hunter in the national commercial campaign for "Sportsmans Warehouse," Ron is able to dive into a wide range of characters. The best way to describe Ron is he simply does nothing half way and when he puts his mind to something success is the only outcome he'll be satisfied with. When he got started in his career he lived in a shed in his friend's backyard making what he could until his career took off. But, that background was the foundation for Ron to find a passion for creating characters and telling stories which would motivate him to continue building a solid resume in film and television. Ron often calls upon his varied personal experience to help him create his characters. Ron grew up playing many winter sports in Alaska and went on to compete in ski racing as a Junior Olympian. It was college that took him to the University of Utah before relocating to Los Angeles with his wife and two kids.
