SUNDAY EDITION: Ron Thompson Is The Only Actor Making A Comeback At Age 79

What do Michael Caine, Robert De Niro and Morgan Freeman all have in common? Besides the fact that they’re seasoned, well-respected actors, they are also all in another category as well; working actors over 75. 

In a 2017 Backstage Magazine article, journalist, Stephanee Forshee wrote, “There’s no age that’s too old when it comes to acting. In fact, those that are able to work later into their lives find themselves in a much smaller pool of talent then when they were younger.” Here with us today we are fortunate to have Ron Thompson, a stage and screen actor whose decades-long career was revived in 2010 by a Facebook fan group.
