An actor who came to it the long way round.
After twenty-five years making television, Richard trained at Guildhall and moved into acting. It shows on set: he knows how a scene comes together, and takes direction first time.
Next on stage.
Crazy For You
Bobby Child is sent from New York to foreclose on a rundown Nevada theatre, falls for the owner's daughter, and sets about saving both the theatre and himself. Disguises, deception and a good deal of razzmatazz follow.

An Ideal Husband
Oscar Wilde's comedy of reputation and blackmail. Carnaby plays the Earl of Caversham: an eccentric, well-connected socialite desperate to keep up appearances and see his wayward son married to an acceptable standard.
"In every scene he appeared, Carnaby managed to steal the moment — with wit, pomposity and restrained stuffiness worthy of his character's position." — An Ideal Husband, Duchess Theatre
Incomplete
"A downright brash man… a character who's hard to like but impossible to ignore." — The Play's the Thing UK
