Richard graduated from the University of Southern California School of Theatre (although he originally wanted to study medicine), earning a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts.
He used to teach acting classes during his spare time.
He used the money he made selling his autographs at science-fiction conventions to support a school in Orange County for the hearing impaired mostly because he could identify himself with the students as from the age of 13, he was totally deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other.
He was a regular on the 2003-2004 season of
Strong… More Medicine, playing Dr. Milo Morton. The show killed him off at the beginning of the 2004/05 season due to his death on 22 May 2004.
