Richard Church

Background: After working away in the real estate business for the past 13 years... when I should have been focussed on my acting, I have decided it's better late than never. "Life is what happens while your making other plans." I guess. I grew up in Massachusetts. Believe it or not, I was brought up in a community where I learned to sail, ride horseback, ski, motorcycle, and swim like a fish. I'm no Ice Cube. Maybe a heavy set Will Smith though. I was Educated at Eastern New Mexico University, where my focus was Broadcast Journalism. There, I was a reporter and an evening news producer at KENW-TV. Other places I've lived are Alaska, Prague, Brazil, North Carolina, and now Pittsburgh. While living in Brazil, I produced a documentary on the street kids of Brazil. Since I have been in Pittsburgh, I have worked as an extra in several productions, one Dream Works production, another called 'Adventureland,' due out later this winter. My larger claim to fame is that I worked with Julliane Moore on her film "Shelter" I was the cook in the direct background of her shot. I've worked with 3-11 productions on a National industrial film where I was principal Henry, a reoccuring role, and I also completed a commercila; Re-Imagine Pittsburgh, with Legion Media. Quite simply, I have always been drawn in by thrilling adventure. The entertainment industry represents this to me, and refuse to go silently into the night.

Interests: To secure a reoccuring role on a series, work in commercials, and television, and of course, at the bare minimum, become a working character acter in the film industry. But honestly, I know once I get the chance to make a break, They're gonna love me, and I'm gonna rock it like the space shuttle!

Goals: I love to travel. I love my friends and family, and whether it be in front of the camera, behind the camera, writing, working as a director, or a production assistant, I am as happy as a clam because playing a part in the creative process is just quite frankly, where it's at!
