Richard Kent Green -- "RKG", as friends & colleagues know him -- is here to help. He has worked in film, television, commercials, and theatre for decades, playing the squirrely guy who "gets it" (or thinks he does) because he's freakishly smart, or he blindly follows his heart... and one usually gets in the way of the other: offbeat geniuses (Einstein, Salvador Dali, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Dr. Strangelove), hopeless cases and hardasses you find yourself rooting for. An actor for whom roles get suddenly 'written in'. Someone to call when you don't know who you need.

Richard grew up in Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, and Fire Island, NY, the third son of a former protestant minister-turned private pilot and an OG Jersey Girl who managed to have it and do it all.

His life as an artist began on his third birthday, when he announced that he'd be a clown when he grew up. By the time he was ten, he was regularly trodding the boards in community theater. Acting and singing drove him through high school and college, when his best friend gave him his first ukulele. Richard left school to work on the road for a bit -- acting, singing & moving well, at Opryland, Musicana Supper Clubs and The Repertory Theater of America / Alpha-Omega Players, playing ten months of one-nighters in a repertory of two plays & two musicals (the closest experience in America to the British method of learning one's craft) -- then he "repatriated" to New York City. After a few years in the cabaret world at Once Upon A Stove and Paper Moon, RKG, as he was now known, immersed himself in New York's Indie Theater scene, first as an Acting Company Member of Love Creek Productions (one of the most -- if not the most -- prolific theater companies in Off-Off Broadway history, headed by playwright Le Wilhelm), then as company artist, director, and producer with the WorkShop Theater Company throughout its twenty-year residence in the Theater Building on West 36th Street.  Occasional work in TV, film and commercials came his way.

Richard's focus is now primarily on TV, film & commercial work. He studies on-camera acting with Anthony Robert Grasso at ARG Studios, improv at Upright Citizens Brigade, and he's a member of We Make Movies NYC, and career coach Jodie Bentley's Actor Insider. He is represented in all areas in the Philadelphia market by Pat Yorks, at Agency Connects (see Contact page below).
