Ron Underwood

Ron Underwood

Highest Rated: 89% City Slickers (1991)

Lowest Rated: 5% The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)

Birthday: Nov 6, 1953

Birthplace: Glendale, California, USA

This rising director has worked in many mediums: TV, film, live action, animation, fiction and documentary. The California native was making short films by the time he was ten years old; he spent his high school years journeying through Ceylon and Sri Lanka, where he made a film on an indigenous tribe. After an unhappy stint in medical school, Underwood returned to his true calling, taking film courses at USC. He honed his craft first by working as a cameraman and editor for a commercial company and later by serving as a staff director for Barr Films, making industrial and educational films.
