Ronald Lyle Goldman (July 2, 1968 – June 12, 1994) was an American restaurant waiter and aspiring actor. A volunteer working with children suffering from cerebral palsy, Goldman appeared as a contestant on the short-lived game show Studs in early 1992.^[2] Goldman lived independently from his family and supported himself as an employment headhunter, tennis instructor, and waiter, and worked occasionally as a model. Not long before his death, Goldman earned an emergency medical technician license, but he decided not to pursue that as a career.

In 1994, Goldman became a friend of Nicole Brown Simpson, the ex-wife of American football player O. J. Simpson. In June 1994, Goldman was murdered, along with Brown, outside her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Following a controversial and highly publicized criminal trial, Simpson was acquitted of all charges, though he was later found liable for their deaths in a 1997 civil lawsuit filed by Goldman's father Fred. No other suspects have ever been identified, and the killings remain unsolved, although Goldman's family have expressed the belief that Simpson committed the murders and was the sole perpetrator.
