- Additional Crew
New York-based actor Richard Brundage was seen recently in the highly acclaimed "Shiva Baby" (with Rachel Sennott and Molly Gordon), and he won Best Supporting Actor at the Milan International Filmmaker Festival for his performance in "Flesh is Heir To."
He was born in Seattle and grew up in Woodbridge, Virginia and La Spezia, Italy, with significant detours through Providence (the one in Rhode Island) and Falmouth, Massachusetts. In his early teens he attended baseball camp AND band camp - not at the same time - and loved both. Before taking up acting, he pursued several careers, including high-school math teacher, word-processing "specialist," semi-professional French hornist, librarian, classical music engraver/editor, and quasi-obsessed amateur volleyball player. At the age of 39, pretty much on a whim, he signed up for a couple of acting classes at HB Studio in Manhattan. Soon he was acting full-time.
He's played leading roles in several feature films, including Lena Dunham's "Creative Nonfiction," Gorman Bechard's "You Are Alone," and Winn Coslick's "Fourhand." His sixty-plus indie roles have been seen at film festivals all over the planet. In addition to Lena Dunham, he's performed in films with Bobby Moynihan ("Saturday Night Live"), Margarita Levieva ("The Deuce"), Larry Joe Campbell ("According to Jim"), Toks Olagundoye ("Frasier"), Austin Basis ("Beauty and the Beast"), Kate Lyn Sheil ("House of Cards") and Tate Ellington ("Law & Order: Organized Crime").
Onstage, in addition to numerous New York productions, he's performed in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois. He's appeared onstage with Anna Chlumsky ("Veep"), Vincent Piazza ("Boardwalk Empire") and Jeremy Holm ("House of Cards").
