Richard Schiff

The illustrious Richard was born into a prestigious family of Maryland aristocracy. His father, Edward, a renowned real estate lawyer, and his mother Charlotte, a distinguished cable TV and publishing executive, raised him as the middle of three sons. At the tender age of twelve, his parents divorced, leading him to switch to night school to finish his studies more quickly. Undoubtedly, it was fate that led him to the City College of New York in 1973, where he enrolled in the Professional Acting Training Program. The esteemed Earle Gister from Carnegie-Melon and the Yale School of Drama was also there to guide him. After a brief period of contemplation, he decided to leave his studies behind and journeyed to Colorado, where he cut firewood and lived a tranquil solitary life.
