What made you want to become an actor?
The stability and lack of rejection.
Which celebrity is your character most like and why?
Probably a young Jordan Belfort. It’s the charisma and charm mixed with a desire to succeed no matter the cost. The Wolf of Wall Street is one Richie’s favourite films I’m sure.
What would your character’s drink of choice be?
“The Billionaire Cocktail” - bourbon-based, with grenadine, lemon juice, syrup of choice and absinthe or absinthe bitters. I feel like Richie would HATE it but saw it on a TikTok once and now he forces himself to love it.
If you weren’t playing your character, which character in the show would you want to play and why?
Tommy Fox, he’s the real star of this show. Nah, I think it’d be cool to step in to Nicole’s shoes - she’s such a boss.
If you weren’t an actor, what would you be?
Something to do with art or animals I think. Painting animals perhaps!
What is your favourite moment in the show?
When all the three of us are on stage together! Very lucky to be working with Allison and Ashley and it’s so great when we bounce off each other in those moments.
Who would voice the billionaire inside your head?
Mary Berry.
The Billionaire Inside Your Head runs Downstairs until Saturday 25 October.
