Lawrence P. Beron

Actor, humorist, and raconteur Lawrence P Beron is a native New Orleanian and still resides in New Orleans. In high school, a family move to The Netherlands led him to graduate from The American School of The Hague, where he appeared in a number of plays directed by Richard Freedberg. After moving back to New Orleans, he began performing standup comedy and acting in local productions.

In 2008, he was cast in his first supporting role as Detective Anthony Merchant in the upcoming Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, starring Michael Douglas and Amber Tamblyn and directed by Peter Hyams. Professionally, he has studied with Alan Dysert and David Keith at The Actor’s School in Nashville, TN; and with John “Spud” McConnell and with Lance E. Nichols in New Orleans. He is a member of the Screen Actors Guild.
