He is a former member of the Peninsula Players summer theater program during the 1963 season.
After fifty years being away from organized religion, Waite returned in 2010 and became an active member of Spirit of the Desert Presbyterian Fellowship in Palm Desert, California.[3]
Waite ran unsuccessfully for Congress in California as a Democrat three times: in 1990 he challenged veteran GOP incumbent Al McCandless in the Riverside County-based 37th district, losing by five percentage points. In 1998 he ran in the special election for the then-Palm Springs-based 44th district left vacant by the death of incumbent Sonny Bono. He was defeated in that election by Mary Bono, Sonny's widow, and lost to her again that November.
Ralph has appeared in over 85 film and TV appearances since 1954 including two Euro-westerns: “Lawman” (1971) and “Chato’s Land” (1972).
Today we celebrate Ralph Waite’s 85th birthday.
