Former golden gloves boxer Ron Eldard has found success on stage,
television and in feature films. Fans of the NBC medical drama Emergency Room: Die Notaufnahme (1994)
will remember Eldard for playing a paramedic and love interest for
nurse Julianna Margulies on the show's second season. The New York native
graduated from the city's prestigious High School of the Performing
Arts after studying drama and made his feature film debut in Nancy Savoca's
Wahre Liebe (1989). Eldard's subsequent major film roles include that of an inner
city youth coping with the consequences of a practical joke gone
horribly awry in Barry Levinson's Sleepers (1996). On stage, Eldard made a name for
himself appearing in the off-Broadway productions of "AveNu Boys" and
"Servy 'n' Bernice 4Ever" and, in his one man show, "Standing Eight
Count". His Broadway credits include Neil Simon's "Biloxi Blues" and "On
the Waterfront". On television, Eldard starred in the short-lived NBC
sitcom Der Mann an sich... (1996) and in Bakersfield P.D. (1993). Eldard has also appeared in several
made-for-television movies, including Showtime's Schutzlos - schatten über Carolina (1996) and HBO's
The Sound of War - Wenn Helden sterben (1998).
