Personal Details

Other Works:

During the summer of 1976, Richard Riehle and Anthony Heald, then known as Phil Heald, worked together in Grand Ledge, Michigan, at the Boarshead Theater, a professional theater located in a huge old barn that had been run as a summer theater since the early 1950s when stars like Zsa Zsu Pitts toured the summer stock boards. The Boarshead Theater Company was a year round theater company which moved into its permanent winter quarters that fall in Lansing, Michigan, and still exists there today. Anthony (Phil) Heald stayed with the Boarshead for a few more years more before moving on to New York. See more »

Personal Quote:

(His advice to actors) It's such a matter of luck - There's so many people as skilled as you, so many unknowns in every choice - that you shouldn't take rejection personally, but be thankful for every opportunity. See more »

Trivia:

It wasn't until 1976 that Richard made the move to the West Coast and concentrated on jobs from Alaska to Arizona and pretty much everywhere in between. See more »
