His older adoptive brother [[Michael Reagan]], adopted as an infant by [[Ronald Reagan]] and his first wife, [[Jane Wyman]], is 13 years older. He also had two half-sisters born to Reagan and Wyman, [[Maureen Reagan]] (1941–2001) and Christine Reagan, who was born prematurely on June 26, 1947, and died the same day.

Ron Reagan undertook a different philosophical and political path from his father at an early age. At 12, he told his parents he would not be going to church anymore because he was an [[atheist]].<ref name="thehill">[http://thehill.com/capital-living/20-questions/20867-20-questions-ron-reagan "20 Questions: Ron Reagan"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110511075259/http://thehill.com/capital-living/20-questions/20867-20-questions-ron-reagan |date=May 11, 2011 }}, by Betsy Rothstein, ''[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]'', September 24, 2008.</ref>

Reagan attended and was expelled from [[The Webb Schools|The Webb School of California]]. He commented:

<blockquote>They [the school administration] thought I was a bad influence on the other kids. As I recall, the immediate reason was I went to a dance at a neighboring girl's school in a classmate's car. This was an infraction. They had been looking for an excuse. I didn't get caught at anything.<ref name="thehill"/></blockquote>

Reagan dropped out of [[Yale University]] in 1976 after one semester to become a [[ballet]] dancer.<ref name="thehill"/> He joined the [[Joffrey Ballet]] in pursuit of his lifelong dream and participated in the Joffrey II Dancers, a troupe for beginning dancers, where he was mentored by [[Sally Brayley]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20079241,00.html|title=What Do You Call the Connection Between the Metropolitan Opera and Ron Reagan's Dance Troupe?

Ron talks of his parents with much affection. But these absences are strange and go back a ways." The parent Reagans went to see Ron perform at the [[Lisner Auditorium]] on Monday, May 18, 1981. The elder Reagan commented in his [[White House]] diary on this day that Ron's performance was "darn good" and reminiscent of [[Fred Astaire]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/white-house-diaries/diary-entry-05181981/ |title=White House Diaries: Monday, May 18, 1981 |access-date=July 10, 2019 |archive-date=March 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308145000/https://www.reaganfoundation.org/ronald-reagan/white-house-diaries/diary-entry-05181981/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

==Career==
In February 1986, Reagan hosted an episode of ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''.

Reagan became more politically active after his father left the White House in 1989. In contrast to his father, the younger Reagan's views were unabashedly liberal. In a 2009 ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' interview, Ron said that he did not speak out politically during his father's term because the press "never cared about my opinions ''as such,'' only as they related to ''him''", adding he did not want to create the impression that he and his father were on bad terms because of political differences. In 1991, Reagan hosted ''The Ron Reagan Show'', a syndicated late-night talk show addressing political issues of the day, which was canceled after a brief run since it was unable to compete with the higher ratings of ''[[The Arsenio Hall Show]]'', ''[[The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson]]'', and ''[[Nightline]]''.<ref name="imdb"/>

Reagan has worked in recent years as a magazine journalist and has hosted talk shows on cable TV networks such as the [[Animal Planet]] network. In [[United Kingdom|Britain]], he is best known for having co-presented ''[[Record Breakers]]'' (based on ''[[The Guinness Book of Records]]'') for the [[BBC]]. Reagan presented a report from the United States each week.<ref>[http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/571186/index.html Profile] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071124072738/http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/571186/index.html |date=November 24, 2007 }}, screenonline.org.uk; accessed September 2, 2014.</ref>

He has served on the board of the [[Creative Coalition]], an organization founded in 1989 by a group that included [[Susan Sarandon]] and [[Christopher Reeve]], to politically mobilize entertainers and artists, generally for [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] rights and causes such as arts advocacy and public education. From February to December 2005, Reagan co-hosted the talk show ''Connected: Coast to Coast with [[Monica Crowley]]'' on [[MSNBC]].<ref name="imdb">{{IMDb name|713985}}</ref>

Until its demise in 2010, [[Air America Media]] aired ''The Ron Reagan Show.'' The program made its debut on September 8, 2008.<ref>{{cite web|title=Reagan Joins Air America as Permanent Weeknight Host|work=Radio Online|date=September 4, 2008|url=http://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/headline_id=n18357|access-date=2013-11-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090122220742/http://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/headline_id=n18357|archive-date=2009-01-22}}</ref>

Reagan is not a member of a political party, but votes [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]].<ref name = Skelton>{{cite news|url = https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-13/george-skelton-ron-reagan-atheist-freedom-from-religion-foundation|title = Column: How Ron Reagan, son of a true believer, became an atheist|work = [[Los Angeles Times]]|last = Skelton|first = George|date = April 13, 2020|accessdate = September 16, 2021|archive-date = September 17, 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210917014637/https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-04-13/george-skelton-ron-reagan-atheist-freedom-from-religion-foundation|url-status = live}}</ref> In July 2004, Reagan spoke at the [[2004 Democratic National Convention|Democratic National Convention]] about his support for lifting Bush's restrictions on federally funded [[embryonic stem cell research]], from which he expected a cure or new treatments for [[Alzheimer's disease]], of which his father had recently died. "There are those who would stand in the way of this remarkable future, who would deny the federal funding so crucial to basic research. A few of these folks, needless to say, are just grinding a political axe and they should be ashamed of themselves," Ron Reagan said of the restrictions.

In September 2004, he told the ''[[Sunday Herald]]'' newspaper that the [[George W. Bush]] Administration had "cheated to get into the White House. It's not something Americans ever want to think about their government. My sense of these people is that they don't have any respect for the public at large. They have a revolutionary mindset. I think they feel that anything they can do to prevail &mdash; lie, cheat, whatever &mdash; is justified by their revolutionary aims" and that he feared Bush was "hijacking" his father's reputation.<ref>Johnston, Jenifer.

In early 2020, Reagan stated his father would have opposed [[Donald Trump]], remarking to ''[[The Daily Beast]]'' that "The Republican Party at this point, for a whole host of reasons to do with Donald Trump, is an entirely illegitimate political party just made up of a bunch of sycophantic traitors mouthing Kremlin propaganda to defend this squalid little man who is occupying the White House," Reagan said. "This is a dying party. They either have to remake themselves entirely or they will disappear eventually. Within a decade the Republican Party will be a minor fringe group if it continues going this way. My father would have been ashamed of this Republican Party. He would have been embarrassed and ashamed that a president of the United States was as incompetent and traitorous as the man occupying the White House now.
