Awards: NONE
My Favorite Film: Even though he is most known for his part in "The Sound of Music" (1965), my favorite film with him is "And Then There Were None" (1945). In the middle of all the suspense and mystery is this lanky butler who soon becomes a prime suspect as a murderer.
Richard was not keen to interviews and kept to himself for the majority of his life. In fact, he was found dead in his home all alone. Regardless of his shy tendencies, he was an amazing comedian and performed on Broadway, Radio, Television and the Big Screen. He had his own unique facial expressions and combined this with his voice which came through his nose. He is one of my favorite unknown comedians.
Here is the complete film of "And Then There Were None"
