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 spent his childhood in Indiana, Virginia, Tennessee, and mostly 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 in Nashville, Musicana Supper Clubs in Florida and The Repertory Theater of America / Alpha-Omega Players, playing in a repertory of two plays & two musicals for ten months of one-nighters, through thirty-three states - the closest experience in America to the British method of honing actors.
With a few years as a professional (non-union) actor on his resume, Richard "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.
 

All the while he was acting-directing-producing-designing-etc in indie theater, Richard navigated a storied career as promotional demonstrator par excellence. He 'flirted & squirted' fragrances and vogued gifts-with-purchase at every major department and specialty store in New York, finally single-handedly launching and servicing account locations for the luxury industry's biggest, oldest, and most expensive names in perfume at the highest-end stores in the city.

Richard's sole focus is now on acting in TV, streaming & film projects and commercials. He's currently co-writing a dramedy for streaming with Evgeniya Radilova (Lost Cos), in which they will co-star.

 

He studies on-camera acting with Anthony Robert Grasso at ARG Studios and improv at Upright Citizens Brigade; he's a member of We Make Movies NYC and career coach Jodie Bentley's Actor Insider.

ALSO:
RKG co-hosts a New York circle of shamanic practitioners, and runs its camp at Burning Man, where he's known as 'Einstein'; he's an original member of the consent support team at House of Yes in Brooklyn; he plays banjolele in the novelty band Unintended Consequences - 'the unoffical band of the Roaring 2020s'; he's a climate activist with Extinction Rebellion NYC; he lives in Hell's Kitchen.
