OXFORD – Many people may remember him portraying the villain in films such as “Robocop,” “Total Recall” and television’s “Stargate” series, not to mention his first time on camera as the guitarist in “Deliverance,” during its unforgettable “dueling banjos” scene. Beginning at 7:30 tonight, however, people will have an opportunity to experience the musical side of Hollywood actor, musician and storyteller Ronny Cox at Oxford’s 6 On The Square.

Tickets for tonight’s show are $25 at the door, and those attending can expect an eclectic blend of southwestern folk music that the Boston Globe called “a study in easygoing amiability and unforced charisma.”

Over the past decade, Cox has evolved from an “actor who sings” into a “singer who happens to have a pretty fair career acting,” according to his biography.
