Born in Bristol, Richard’s career has taken many paths. An actor, TV presenter, writer & journalist, newsreader, reviewer of films and music.
In February 2009, Richard was nominated by friends for an honorary centenary degree in recognition for his dedication to many charity,
and awareness campaigns, and helping numerous other individuals. Richard has recently been given a walk on part in a new “Bollywood”
film called “Veer”. Filming starts in Bath & London later this year.
Grateful thanks to Richard for the photographs below, that pay tribute to some of the many stars, who over eleven gala shows, gave their time
to perform and entertain for Russ’s good cause.
