Donachie was born on April 26, 1956, in Dundee, Angus, Scotland. His sister-in-law is the costume designer Trisha Biggar and his brother is the actor Stewart Porter.
Ron was educated at Madras College, St. Andrews and Glasgow University, from where he graduated in English Literature and Drama in 1979.
After a year working as a navvy, Ron Donachie joined the 7.84 theatre company for John Burrough's "One Big Blow", in which the cast mimicked a traditional, colliery band by singing in six-part harmony. The success of the play led to the formation of the acapella band "The Flying Pickets", who had a Christmas number one in 1983. Donachie's decision not to stay with the band and thereby missing out on their success has been described by him as "one of my more brilliant career decisions."
Throughout the 1980s, he was a prolific theatre performer all across the United Kingdom, working in Britain's now largely vanished repertory system. This afforded him the opportunity to act in many classical plays which are now rarely performed due to budget constraints and closed theatres. During this period, he appeared in over twenty plays at the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre under its famous triumvirate of Giles Havergal, Robert David Macdonald, and Phillip Prowse. Like many performers with similar experience, he considers this the happiest, most fruitful and most influential phase of his career.
In the 1990s, he became a regular performer on British television, and did not appear on stage again until unexpectedly asked to join the National Theatre company for "Scenes From the Big Picture" in 2003. This ended a gap in live performance of thirteen years. Since then, he has tried to return to the variety of his earlier years with regular live performances interspersing his television and film work.
In Game of Thrones, Donachie played Ser Rodrik Cassel. He was confirmed in the role on 20 October 2009. He initially appeared as a guest star in the first season and returned in this role for the second season.
He was also starring as DI John Rebus in the BBC Radio 4 dramatizations of the Ian Rankin "Rebus" mystery novels and for his supporting roles in films The Jungle Book (1994), Titanic and television series Doctor Who.
