Ep #21: Richard Riehle on Being Open, Dependable, and Watching Everything

Richard Riehle (pronounced "Really!"), has had a nearly 50-year career, he's still going! With 400+ onscreen credits to his name, plus years and years of regional theatre, he is truly a working actor! You've probably seen Richard in dozens of things, with very memorable parts in the films Glory, The Fugitive, Office Space, and Casino, as well as appearances on Modern Family, Grounded for Life, and Black-ish. And of course, that doesn't even touch on the decades of regional theatre Richard did before he even started working on-camera! Just a bit of what we cover in this episode: How he was open to whatever possibilities came along, literally saying things like "Yeah, I guess I can do that" How he saw being an actor as a job—it was what he did to put money on the table How people can really depend and rely on him How he does the audition and then walks away Why it sometimes feels like he's starting all over Why certain projects (that he was excited about) didn't end up working out   Richard even shares how he works on Shakespeare, with a speech from The Winter's Tale, so don't miss that!   Click here for full show notes and links.
