When Rikki Travolta premiered as "The New Empire Man" alongside "Original Empire Man" Lynn Hauldren and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on August 18, 2007, he became the first Spokesperson of a #1 Brand to happen to be disabled.
At the time, company policy prohibited public acknowledgment of his Autism, ADHD, and a diagnosis that relates to the survival of childhood abuse. He is now public about it. He proudly serves as "the voice of voiceless" - speaking on behalf of the those who face abuse and lack the for those who otherwise have no voice.
He is the son of Oregon businessman Dr. Gerald Michael Bieze DDS, who uses aliases including Lawrence Ernesti Jr, Gerald Lloyd Aadland, Jerry Aadland, Michael Salvatore Travolta, Jerry Travolta, David Bieze, and his original name Rolland Bieze Jr. Dr. Bieze is a convicted sex offender under several names. In covering up his crimes, Gerald/Jerry/Rolland/Lawrence Bieze created multiple identities for his son - including Rikki Lee Travolta, Rick Daring, Gerald Michael Bieze Jr., and Gregory Michael Bieze.
Rikki is proud to represent survivors of abuse.
He survived sexual assault again in 2024 at the hands of an Airbnb host in Fox Lake, IL who tortured and abused multiple staff members of Entertainability Group.
At heart, Rikki is dedicated to making people smile. He lends his name, talents, and finances to good causes and American communities. This inspired one reporter to call him "America's Friend."
It's a fun little title. It's not as prestigious as some executive ones he's had. But it's one that seems to fit. He's a friendly guy who makes people smile - and makes millions of dollars for companies and charities in the process. Sometimes being "different" leads to greatness.
On-Camera, On-Stage, and In the Media:
In his dual career as a TV Spokesperson and award-winning actor, Rikki began his career as a child performer, starring as Tiny Tim in a televised production of "A Christmas Carol." It was stumbling into acting on accident that allowed Rikki to learn to function in society. His artistic talents unlocked the positive attributes of his autistic talents.
In the 1990's Rikki made national headlines turning down the chance to replace soap star Ricky Paull Golden as the lead in the Broadway revival of "Grease" to serve as the First Special Guest Star in the environmental theatre hit "Tony n' Tina's Wedding" - reviving ticket sales in Chicago and then branching out to boost ticket sales in productions across the US. Regarding his performance, Fox Thing in the Morning personality Marianne Murciano said, "I've seen the show before. With Rikki Lee Travolta the show is even better."
In 2005 GuestStarCasting named Travolta alongside Donny Osmond, Patrick Cassidy and Michael Damian as one of the Top Headliners in the World for the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice smash hit musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".
Sporting a charming smile, as "The New Empire Man" Travolta made regular media appearances on HGTV, The Montel Williams Show, The Danny Bonaduce Show, Guiding Light, The Playboy Channel, For Your Home, and other rating giants representing Empire Today - turning it into the #1 Flooring & Home Improvement Brand in the Country.
Travolta made his return to acting in 2016 in a Midwest revival of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", for which he earned one of his three Best Actor nominations in the Broadway World Regional Theatre Awards.
He continues to make select, critically-acclaimed appearances in film, television, and stage productions. He won Best Actor honors for his starring role in Ben Kurstin's "The Sleight" at the 2023 Midwest Film Festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center sponsored by Lamborghini.
The LA Times labeled Travolta a "Best Bet." Travolta's film and television credits include thriller, drama, comedy, and horror gems. The horror movie review hub Rotting Zombie named Travolta a "great scene stealing actor."
Rikki was scheduled to play Conrad Birdie in the 2005 Broadway revival of "Bye Bye Birdie", but did not stay with the production when it was delayed until 2009 with John Stamos. Notable stage credits include: "West Side Story", "RENT", "Camelot", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", "August: Osage County", "Noises Off!", and "I Hate Hamlet".
In addition, he is an Amazon Top Ten author, an internationally published journalist, and an award-winning screenwriter.
