Ron Selmour

Ronald Selmour was born on the beautiful Caribbean island of Ayiti, (Haiti) to Marguerite (S Joseph) and J P Decius Selmour, business owners. Though he graduated from Dawson College with a DEC in Social Sciences, future Actor 'Ron Selmour' (qv) decided he needed to further his education in a totally different field; he then ventured to Montreal, where he entered the Bachelor program in theater at Concordia University. His experiences there studying the craft motivated Selmour to pursue a career as a film actor, and he eventually found success, first popping up in an episode of the mystery-crime series _Millennium (1996)_ (qv) in 1998. As is the case with many new actors, Selmour didn't achieve his best work overnight, working for many years in a number of rather unglamorous parts--including a spot as a bartender in the mini-series _Harsh Realm (1999)_ (qv), and another as a security guard in the critically loathed 'Tom Green' (qv) vehicle _Freddy Got Fingered (2001)_ (qv). But with his mysterious looks and tough physique, it was only a matter of time before Selmour found his true niche in adventure/action films. He appeared with a small role in the 2004 sci-fi adventure _The Chronicles of Riddick (2004)_ (qv), and around the turn of the decade, he found more visible roles in two big-budget projects: the sci-fi sequel _TRON: Legacy (2010)_ (qv) and the visually stunning (if critically polarizing) 'Zack Snyder' (qv) fantasy, _Sucker Punch (2011)_ (qv).::che levar
