Ron Leibman's Birth Card: The Jack of Clubs
The Creative Messenger
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Tony Award.
In the record
Ron Leibman (October 11, 1937 – December 6, 2019) was an American actor. The birth-card coordinate for October 11 is the Jack of Clubs — a calendar position, not a forecast of the 1993 Best Actor in a Play (Angels in America: Millennium Approaches) win.

- 1993 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play — Angels in America: Millennium Approaches as Roy Cohn
The Jack of Clubs coordinate
Ron Leibman's birthday maps to the Jack of Clubs (The Creative Messenger). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day), and the year is unused. It is not a prediction about a Tony Award and not a verdict on Ron Leibman. The card's own language, quoted as system copy rather than biography: You bring a new angle and you let someone pressure-test it before it ships.
Ron Leibman in the public record
He won both the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Play in 1993 for his performance as Roy Cohn in Angels in America. Leibman also won a Primetime Emmy Award in 1979 for his role as Martin 'Kaz' Kazinsky in his short-lived crime drama series Kaz. Leibman appeared in films such as Where's Poppa? (1970), The Hot Rock (1972), Norma Rae (1979), and Zorro, The Gay Blade (1981). Later in his career, he became widely known for his recurring role as Dr. Leonard Green on Friends (1994–2004), and for providing the voice of Ron Cadillac on Archer (2013–2016). Leibman was born October 11, 1937, in Manhattan to Grace (née Marks), who was of Russian-Jewish descent, and Murray Leibman, a Russian-Jewish immigrant who worked in the garment business. Leibman graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University. Leibman was a member of the Compass Players in the late 1950s, and he was admitted to the Actors Studio shortly thereafter.

Planetary ruling card, karma and Life Spread
Birth card from the month and day. Karma cards are fixed to the birth card. The planetary ruling card comes from the sun sign's ruling planet — the signs with two rulers carry two. The Life Spread is the birth card's fixed row of nine in the Life Spread — the cards that colour each 52-day period for life. Planetary period and long-range cards move year by year and are not shown on a static page.
No sentence in the sourced record shows a clear echo of the published language for J♣, 10♥, J♦, 7♠, 8♥, K♦, 9♦, 2♣, K♣, 4♥, 4♦, 2♠, 6♣, 6♠. None is claimed here. The coordinate rests on the calendar date alone, and this page does not forecast a Tony.
