- Actor

Richard grew up between two forts: Fort Worth & Fort Lauderdale. Naturally an outcast in school, he found his voice doing theatre from the age of 9 and skipping class in high school to perform professionally. He skipped his entire senior year of high school (technically) to live in France and explain that not all Americans are bad and, no, he had no idea how George Bush was elected either. Upon his return to the states regular suburban life would no longer suffice so he moved to New York city to be a weirdo and studied at a fancy sounding school called the American Musical and Dramatic Academy. After one year he was broke as hell so instead of going back to school he instead landed a job as the entertainer at Club Med in Mexico where he performed like 6 hours a day and, uh..."made up for lost time in high school." Nearing the end he was approached by Hollywood casting director Debra Zane which gave him the push to move to LA...
...but he was broke again, so he moved back to New York to be a weirdo and has been there ever since, in Brooklyn, because Manhattan isn't really weird anymore. He landed a day job as a bike tour guide through Central Park, while pursuing an acting career in between. He did loads of work with MTV, and other networks like Comedy Central and the Internet. He did like 40 short films including some that won prestigious awards. He's done a lot of work with both Columbia University and NYU's MFA film programs as well. Altogether he has acted in over 200 plays, films, and other acting things.
From 2012-2014 he took a little break from being a short film movie star to co-found and grow the highly popular dirty country blues band Jumbo Brown.
Around 2008 he got into casting as well because he's got a great eye and he'd been to a thousand auditions so he knows what works and what doesn't. He helped cast the film 'The Comedy' which premiered at Sundance 2012, 2580 premiering at Slamdance 2015, and a whole bunch of commercials and print ads.
He also recruits directors to make branded content.
