Biography: Ronn Carroll had been a bit part actor, and he was 'discovered' by director/producer Sean S. Cunningham to take the role as Sgt. Tierney in Friday the 13th (1980). Ronn Carroll is actually a veteran actor of stage and has never been far away from it. In recent years, Ronn Carroll has been seen in numerous on and off Broadway productions worldwide, such as Steel Pier, The Rink, Annie Get Your Gun, A Man of No Importance and Oklahoma!

Carroll has also co-starred in a number of Cunningham's other films, including Spring Break (1983), House (1986) and House 2 (1987) and Deep Star Six (1989). Carroll's television films include Summer of Ben Tyler (1996) and The Wedding (1998).

Quote: "Sean Cunningham called and asked if I would come in and read for this policeman. I had no idea what kind of movie it was, except that they said it was 'sort of a horror film.' So for one week, went out there and did all the scenes. I never saw an entire script, I only saw sides of my scene. And my scenes were like, 'There's trouble down at camp! Where are we going?'

When we shot the final scene, to me, even at the time, when I say, 'Ma'am, we didn't find any boy,' that meant here comes number two. I'm thinking, 'Mmm-hmm!' I asked Sean how to play it, and he said, 'Draw yourself over to the camera here.' You know when a director is going in close it's an obvious setup, I almost did it sort of tongue in cheek. Because I had a feeling that they didn't want it to end here. I would laugh about it with my friends after the film came out: 'I knew there was going to be a sequel!'" - pg. 38, Crystal Lake Memories
