Biography

Ronald Lawrence Morisco-Tarr, known as Ron Tarr or 'Big' Ron Tarr, was a British actor and supporting artist recognized for his distinctive hirsute appearance. Born in Willesden, Middlesex, England, Tarr's acting debut came in the 1973 Carry On film Carry On Girls, where he portrayed a bearded audience member. He subsequently appeared in numerous television series, including Doctor Who, Blake’s 7, Space 1999, Are You Being Served?, The Gentle Touch, The Comic Strip Presents: 5 Go Mad in Dorset, and Dramarama. Tarr also featured in several films such as A View To A Kill, Eat the Rich (adding a cameo in Motorhead’s music video for the film), and Willow. Nevertheless, he is best remembered for his role as Big Ron in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. He portrayed the amiable, streetwise market trader Big Ron from the show's start in 1985 until shortly before his death from cancer at age 60 in October 1997. Although a supporting actor with few central storylines, his character frequently interacted with main characters, providing a physically imposing presence whenever conflicts arose. After his passing, pre-recorded episodes featuring him continued to air. To explain his character's absence, Big Ron was written out in early 1998 by winning the lottery and relocating to Spain.
