Richard has been acting and singing since high school. As a professional actor in NYC in the 70’s, he performed Off Broadway, on tours, in summer stock, in cabarets and film. Richard has performed such roles as: Peron in Evita; Joe in Damn Yankees; Brady in Inherit the Wind and Greta in Bent. Richard was a dancer in the 1974 film The Great Gatsby. Helping people has been important to Richard so it is not surprising that he became a licensed Mental Health and Substance Abuse Therapist ultimately retiring from the VA in 2018. During that time, Richard continued to perform over the years. Today, an older Richard has resumed his professional career as an actor and singer performing in theater, film and commercials throughout South Florida.  

Richard also loves the music of the American Song Book and Broadway music. He brings his rich repertoire to South Florida in his one man show.
