Rick Howland is a Canadian, Green Card toting LA Actor, best known as Trick in five seasons of the hit SyFy series "Lost Girl". 2019 and the beginning of 2020 saw him play; Borachio in the staging of "Much Ado About Nothing", the antagonist in the feature film "Captain Tsunami's Army", opposite Chris Mulkey in "A Safe Guide to Dying", a severed head on a shelf in "Good Head", and the were-goat transforming Dr. Stan in the web-series "The Vamps Next Door", which he also wrote for.

Howland has been interrogated three times by Yannick Bisson in "Murdoch Mysteries", "Sue Thomas F.B.Eye" and "Crazy For Christmas". He is very proud to be a part of Canadian history, having played the Commissioner of the Hockey League, Harry Buttman, in the blockbuster feature film "Bon Cop Bad Cop" opposite Patrick Huard and Colm Feore. He also played the son of Canadian icon Jayne Eastwood in "Endless Grind". A turn on the improvised show "Train 48" and a recurring role as the Computer Tech, Keach, on "Billable Hours" tapped into to his comedic roots.

He began with improvisation and an excellent acting teacher, winning regional gold medals two years consecutively at the Improv Olympics. In 1990, Howland formed the comedy troupe "The Four Strombones". They performed in comedy clubs around Toronto (Yuk Yuk's Sketch Pad, Big City Improv, Lee's Palace, the Rivoli and more) for well over a decade. The troupe created an audience choice Toronto Fringe Festival show in 1994, "In Transit: 40 minutes after midnight". His first professional acting role was in the feature film "To Catch A Yeti" opposite Meat Loaf. Howland has hosted comedy shows and wrote his own stand-up routine for "Club Land" directed by Saul Rubinek, screenplay by Steven Webber

Howland co-wrote and directed the short films "Underwritten" and "#Inclusion Rider the movie", he also produced, directed and edited the You Tube web-series "Backseat with P and J".

As a singer/songwriter he released the EP, "Hold My Hand", available on iTunes and many other streaming platforms.

He is currently studying at The BGB Studio in Burbank.
