It all started with a missed opportunity. Rick grew up in Bay City Michigan and had a Drama Teacher in High School who all but begged that class clown to take his class. Evidently he saw something in Rick he couldn't see himself and missed a huge opportunity after he later discovered he ran the Theater Circuit in three cities. Later in life Rick was bitten by the bug watching a lot of movies and when he got hurt at work and was off having both shoulders rebuilt he auditioned for a dinner theater and requested a small role, but wound up with a lead role and played the part well with a coat draped over his shoulder. Rick's played a few roles in film and stage locally and has enjoyed it and also started Writing sometime back with several screenplays registered with the WGAw and also started Directing and Producing which seems to be his greater talent as people tend to gravitate toward him making working with him very easy.
