Richard Gallion, Actor, Writer, and Director of "1800s versus 2020." https://www.richardgallion.com/As a writer, director, and actor, Richard stumbled upon these hidden talents after obtaining a basketball injury in college. Suffering a broken wrist and unable to fulfill my dream of being a professional athlete, he was chosen to travel as a runway model for Ebony and JET magazine Fashion Fair. 

While on tour, and during my downtime in-between shows, he developed a passion for writing. He began his acting career under the directorship of playwright John Ruffin, starring in the GMC-televised film “Love Me or Leave Me,” where he acted alongside Clifton Powell, Elise Neal, Carl Payne, Terri J. Vaughn, and the legendary Shirley Murdock. 

As one who understands discipline and consistency, he was fortunate to garner roles in FOX’S newest show APB, Transformers 4, USA’s Sirens, and FOX’s Empire directed by Lee Daniels, featuring Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. He has also starred in Black Coffee, which was recently in the AMC Theaters, Chicago PD, which airs on NBC 5, and the new movie Halfway featuring Quinton Aaron. 

To date, he has written/directed and produced five highly acclaimed stage productions and ghostwritten/directed for numerous other stage plays, television series, and films. His latest offering is his new play and virtual educational experience with an accompanying curriculum titled, "1800s vs 2020." https://www.richardgallion.com/stageplays
