71 - Richard Sharrah - The Luke Skywalker for the Vertical World...


Listen Later

His life almost sounds like a fairytale ✨. He even married a real (Disney) princess πŸ‘‘ and together they have three wonderful children.

Richard Sharrah sat down with me for a conversation about his love for acting 🎭, his experiences on set 🎬, his life, and his plans for the future πŸš€.

He has taken the Vertical world and its audience by storm πŸŒπŸ“±. His trademark in Vertical series? Father roles. As we discovered, not always the loving kind – for example in β€œMommy Don’t Cry Daddy Is Sorry.” These roles perfectly showcase Richard’s incredible range as an actor 🎭✨. One of his personal highlights in 2025 was his first Vertical shoot together with his son Maverick πŸ‘¦πŸŽ¬ – a very special and meaningful experience for him.

The actor and businessman with an MBA πŸŽ“πŸ’Ό, who until recently was under an exclusive contract with ReelShort, ended that exclusivity in early 2026 to the delight of many fans πŸ™Œ. Now he’s ready to conquer the entire Vertical world – including international productions 🌎πŸŽ₯.

During our conversation, filled with laughter and humor, Richard and I also create a little β€œTo Do / To Visit” list for 2026 πŸ“. Besides filming in Europe πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡ΊπŸŽ¬, I invite the half-German actor to visit his homeland again πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ – maybe for my Soundgarden or for another magical Christmas market tour in winter πŸŽ„β˜•βœ¨.

Even before the recording started πŸŽ™οΈ, our conversation had already developed a wonderful depth and connection. We talked not only about career and projects, but also about life itself – about the importance of self-care πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ and the beauty of living in the moment πŸŒ….

Just to be clear: if Richard suddenly shows up with a new tattoo in the near future πŸ–ŠοΈπŸ˜…, that idea was entirely his. Jessica @jessicasharrah , I take absolutely no responsibility for it. πŸ˜‰

A wonderful conversation about life πŸ’«, the love of living ❀️, and big visions πŸš€.

This is definitely an episode you don’t want to miss! πŸŽ™οΈπŸ”₯
