Description

Rick began his acting career in Rochester, NY where he performed in many television commercials and print ad spots. He also played several extra roles in the films Hide in Plain Sight and The Natural. He was a graduate of the Kim Kahana Hollywood Stunt School and excelled in the sport of body building. With the help of his friend and mentor professional body builder Danny Padilla, Rick won many competitions. When a bicep injury ended his body building career, Rick turned back to acting. He became the co-host of an independent, Rochester based reality show called Life Without Shame. The controversial show was a ratings hit with Rick's off beat and comedic character. It was this wise cracking character that was the inspiration for Sergeant Castellano in the film Demons at the Door. Demons at the Door marked Rick's first starring role in a feature film.
