Richard Bennett
Biography
From Wikipedia
Richard Bennett (May 21, 1870 – October 22, 1944) was an
American actor who became a stage and silent screen matinee idol over the early
decades of the twentieth century.
He was born in Deacon's Mills, Indiana in 1870 (some sources
state 1872), the son of George Washington Bennett and Eliza Huffman. His
younger sister was Ina Blanche Bennett. For a time, he was a sailor on Great
Lakes steamer, a professional boxer, medicine showman, troubadour and night
clerk in a hotel in Chicago.
His silent movie debut was a reprisal of his stage role in
Damaged Goods (1914), which co-starred his wife, Adrienne Morrison. He helped
adapt the screenplay and direct the drama. In the drama The Valley of Decision
(1916), which he wrote, Bennett appeared on the screen with his wife, Morrison,
and his three daughters.
In 1922, Bennett starred in Broadway's English-language
version of Leonid Andreyev's melodrama He Who Gets Slapped, playing the title
role as He. The success of the play led to its being filmed by
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with the production starring Lon Chaney in Bennett's role.
With the advent of the talkies the middleaged actor found a niche as a
character actor. In 1931 he appeared with Constance Bennett in Bought!
On November 8, 1903, Bennett and actress Adrienne Morrison
were married in Jersey City. They had three daughters, Constance Bennett
(1904–1965); Barbara Bennett (1906–1958); and Joan Bennett (1910–1990). He and
Morrison were divorced in April 1925. Their first and third daughters,
Constance and Joan, became successful movie stars. Their second daughter,
Barbara, was also briefly an actress, but with less success. The two appeared
together on stage in the 1923 play The Dancers Barbara married the popular
singer Morton Downey. The controversial television talk-show host Morton
Downey, Jr., was Richard Bennett's grandson.
In 1925, he became acquainted with Aimee Raisch in San
Francisco, during the production of Creoles, in which she played a minor role.
She was a young socialite and aspiring actress who was divorcing her
millionaire clubman and polo player husband, Harry G. Hastings.
Bennett and Raisch were married July 11, 1927, in Chicago.
He and Aimee, who later went by Angela, separated April 3, 1934, and were
divorced in 1937. His daughter Joan made her stage debut acting with him in
Jarnegan (1928). This play, in which he played Jack Jarnegan, provided one of
his favourite roles—that of a belligerent, drunken movie director given to
acidulous and profane comments on Hollywood.
Richard Bennett died at age 74 from a heart attack at Good
Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. Episcopal funeral services were conducted on
October 24, 1944, in Beverly Hills. He is interred in Pleasant View Cemetery,
Lyme, Connecticut, beside his second wife and mother of his daughters.
Bennett was fond of saying that the movie industry was not a
business, but a madhouse.

Bernard Robichaud
Biography
Boston-born, Canadian-based, actor, writer and comic, Bernard Robichaud, known to fans worldwide as Cyrus, the gun toting, drug dealing nemesis from the hit television series Trailer Park Boys, started his life in the spotlight as a sought after model. That is, until the day he crossed paths with a Toronto talent agent, who insisted he missed his calling and should try his hand at acting. With that advice in mind, Bernard enrolled in the Theatre Arts program at Dalhousie University and later honed his skills under the private tutelage of esteemed vocal coach Dorothy Ward, and later under the wings of award winning director Tom Kerr at the prestigious Neptune Theatre.
Believe it or not, this athletic man who grew up playing hockey and basketball and today is an avid golfer was hired to voice the characters of both Robert and Becky in the CBC radio drama In Becky's Name. Governor General Award winning playwright and author, Kent Stetson, took the liberty of contacting ACTRA on Bernard's behalf, stating that anyone who could play a man and women on radio in their first performance deserved to be given their professional status...and he was, and he hasn't looked back.
His uncanny talent of being able to transform himself into a rough and tumble lowlife to a ruggedly handsome good guy has garnered Bernard a variety of most interesting roles over his career including performing alongside such Hollywood icons as James Caan and Kathy Bates. Most recently he was seen in Sea Change on Lifetime movies, based on New York Times best selling author Aimee Friedman, which everyone hopes will go to camera in the near future as a series. He also starred in Blue Seduction co-starring Billy Zane and Estella Warren, and American Sunset, co-staring with his friend, the late Corey Haim. Bernard also had a recurring role as Kirk in the hit Showcase TV series, Haven.
Bernard is writing a made for TV series sitcom, called Cranky Cab, co produced by his friend and former producer of Trailer Park Boys, Barrie Dunn, which he will star. He wrote a screenplay Kitchen Sports, an adaptation of his successful1995 play, penned A Woman Scorned, a screenplay feature thriller, and co wrote 13 episodes for a TV sitcom, The Adventures of Black Bart.
When not gracing the small or large screens, Bernard tours North America with his stand-up comedy act, It's My Life, Not Yours! The comedy act was originally a portrayal of his character on Trailer Park Boys, but after his first tour, several years ago, Bernard realized that comedy was an expression of truth, and the character, Cyrus, he was portraying, was far from his truth, "it's was like being a cartoon, and difficult to find my voice," and he set forth to develop material that would be easily transformed into the real Bernard Robichaud. Bernard's unique stories of his life...have his audiences busting' a gut!
