Born as Ron Braunstein, in Brooklyn, New York, raised in the Glenwood Housing Projects,
Flatbush/Canarsie section of Brooklyn. Known internationally as the hardcore Hiphop artist, Necro.
Owner of the independent, Psycho+Logical-Records, which he started in 1999 to release his solo albums
as well as many other artists. Started playing music, first guitar, at as early as 9 years old, performing
with a band on stage by 11 years old, frequently playing clubs like L'Amour opening for bigger bands.
Attended South Shore High School up until 10th grade where he was
kicked out for continuous fighting. By 16 years old, Ron started
selling drugs as a full time occupation, even going as far as to make
business cards for customers to contact him.
After his father refused to pay for film school, Ron took his drug
money and invested it in 2 film courses and 1 acting course in Brooklyn
College at the age of 18 years old. During this time, Ron was taking
directing more serious than acting, where he directed 2 short silent
70s themed films shot on super 8 and 16mm film, both funded by drug
money as well.
It was more than 10 years later that Ron decided to take
acting as a craft more seriously and decided to attend The Lee Strasberg
Theatre & Film Institute. Ron really connected well with teacher and
legendary actor Paul Calderon, who was teaching Acting For Film. Ron
felt he learned the most from Paul who understood Ron's street sense,
since Paul comes from the New York City streets as well. Paul said he saw more
potential in Ron within the first 3 months of learning than other
students that attended Strasberg for 3 years.
Inspiration like that and great teaching has kept Ron on an ambitious
mission to become a respected and real actor in the drama field moving
forward.
