description: "Ronald Lyle Goldman was an American restaurant waiter and aspiring actor. A volunteer working with children with cerebral palsy, Goldman appeared as a contestant on the short-lived game show Studs in early 1992. Goldman lived independently from his family and supported himself as an employment headhunter, tennis instructor, and waiter, and worked occasionally as a model. Goldman earned an emergency medical technician license, but he decided not to pursue that as a career. In 1994, Goldman befriended Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of American football player O. J. Simpson. On June 12, 1994, Goldman was murdered along with Brown, outside her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles."
