He’s a plethora ofenergy. Began his life in Chicago studying theater and also fell in love withgambling. Went to LA, did film and acting. But there was gambling and LasVegas. Richard is engrossing, brilliant, honest, charming, and successful. Yes,he wins. I never win. He disagreed with my self-description. So, I told himabout my Rutgers football trip to Pittsburgh. Maybe I convinced him. Manyquestions to ask a gambler. Is professional gambling more about math orpsychology? Can every casino game be beaten? Profession versus hobby? He is anauthor too. “Gambling Wizards” is a conversation with the world’s greatestgamblers. Indeed, for me, this was a dreamy interview. Fascinating on manylevels. Counting cards. Mysterious. Vegas way back. What was it like? Commontraits of great gamblers. He likes the movie, ‘Harold and Maude.’ Richard hasworked as a writer, producer, actor, and director. And he’s a currentpodcaster, ‘Life is a Gamble.’ Richard has learned so much about human nature.We explore that as well in our time together. Then, towards the end of ourinterview, I had an epiphany. I love epiphanies. Richard’s life story is amovie to be made.
