Answer 2

Ronald Lee McDonald
Few people know that there is a "REAL" Ronald who is a member of the family that started McDonald's. Ronald Lee McDonald is related to Richard and Maurice McDonald, the sons of McDonald's founders Dick and Mac McDonald, is a successful businessman, consultant, and author. He currently resides in Tampa, Florida. Ronald has been active in the hospitality industry since the beginning of the chain that bears his family's name. He worked the first store in San Bernadino, California in 1955 on family visits and has continued in the industry for the past 50+ years.

In 1967, Ronald also became an innovator by designing and building the first Disco in America called "Pandora's Box" in a suburb of Miami, Florida. He went on to open Dave Thomas' first "Wendy's" in South Carolina in Spartanburg and worked to help with the "Western Family Steak House" Chain, The "Ale Haus" and "Villa Inn's Italian restaurants". He has been a Director on Company Boards both in and out of the Hospitality industry.

Ronald has been active in many aspects of the food industry as Chairman of Dixie Southern Foods, Cottonwood Creek Farms and McDonald Hospitality Group where he maintains an active hospitality consulting business. Ronald is also Chairman of the Inner City Fund a Non Profit Charitable Foundation. He is very active in Florida real estate and real estate investing, and is President of Coast to Coast Real Estate, LLC in Tampa, Florida where he functions as a licensed Broker, Mortgage Banker and General Contractor.

Ronald has authored a number of books including:

"The Complete Hamburger," Birch Lane Press. (This was written with Dick McDonald, the original founder of McDonald's Hamburgers. Dick did the foreword to the book shortly before he died.)
"Ronald McDonald's International Burger Book," Hat's OFF Press
"Ronald McDonald's Franchise Buyers Guide," Xlibris Press
In 2003, Ronald was recognized as the "Businessman of the Year" in Florida. In 2004, he received the "National Leadership Award" from the President's Business Advisory Council and received the "Ronald Reagan Gold Medal" from President George W. Bush. Henceforth, May 24th is now known as National Ronald McDonald Day. In 2005, Ronald was appointed to the Chairmanship of the Entrepreneur Mentors, a Special Interest Group of Mensa, an organization of which he is an active member.

There were also other Ronalds not connected to the McDonald's hamburger family: Ronald McDonald was also the name of the man who won the 1898 Boston Marathon.


[edit] Portrayal
At any given time, there are dozens, or possibly hundreds, of actors retained by McDonald's to appear as Ronald McDonald in restaurants and events. It is assumed, however, that the company uses only one actor at a time to play the character in national television commercials. Following is a list of such primary and secondary Ronald actors.

Willard Scott (Washington, D.C. 1963–1966)
Bob Brandon (1966 + )
King Moody (1970s)
Squire Freidell (after Moody)
Geoffrey Giuliano (late 1970s – early 1980s)
Joe Maggard (mid-1990s)
David Hussey (2000s, shown in photo above)
