Richard Eden(I)

After studying in his hometown of Toronto with Actors Studio member and teacher Eli Rill, Richard debuted on stage as Paul Bratter in Barefoot in the Park. He was next cast as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, calling upon his parent's Polish roots to inhabit the iconic role. The director of Barefoot in the Park was a fan of Konstantin Stanislavski and Richard fell in love with the richness of his craft. When his parents divorced, his mother moved to New York, and Richard followed. His first job was as an understudy in Entertaining Mr. Sloane at The Cherry Lane. As luck or destiny might have it, the lead actor won the starring role in Grease II, and Richard was on stage in short order. Richard moved to Los Angeles afterward and started his L.A. career onstage in The Fox, winning a Drama-Logue Performance Award. After many T.V. appearances, he won the role of Brick Wallace in the new NBC Daytime Drama Santa Barbara, where he remained for three seasons earning a Daytime Emmy nomination. Another production of A Streetcar Named Desire was sold out for its entire run at The Los Angeles Art Theatre, winning Richard his second Drama-Logue Performance Award, this time for Stanley Kowalski. Here, he met his wife-to-be, Shannon Hile, who played Stella.

Richard signed on for the role of Alex Murphy in the television series RoboCop. Richard and his wife Shannon have a slate of television and feature writing projects. They are managed by Italian Pacific manager/producer, John-Paul Sarni. Richard is a member of the Pacific Resident Theatre Company.
