Biography

Richard Guiton is the middle of 3 children born to Jacqualyne and Oscar Guiton. He attended St. Elizabeth High School in Oakland, California where his love for acting was born. He attended Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, and co-starred in an NBC movie of the week: A Family Torn Apart. Richard went on to Hollywood where he immediately landed a national Pizza Hut commercial, followed by Sunny Delight, Mervyn's, Taco Bell (with Shaquille O'Neal), Starburst, and others.

Richard burst onto the national scene playing Tia Mowry's recurring boyfriend in the hit TV series: Sister, Sister, while simultaneously co-starring in an Columbia Pictures feature film: The Baby-Sister Club.

This is where Richard's love for motion pictures exploded. He went on to co-star on other Warner Bro's TV shows like: Parent Hood and The Steve Harvey Show, but, it was in the summer of '97, working as a volunteer basketball coach that changed his life. Rich, as young people across America refer to him, began asking young kids what they would like to see in their movies? What came out was an award-winning script entitled, "All Eyes On Me," and Rich was convinced that a 'new-media' was born -- engaging young people as to what they want in their entertainment thereby increasing the likelihood of a tremendous opening weekend.

Rich is the creative visionary behind Platinum Lounge. One of the fastest growing entertainment 'new media' sites on the planet. He is very much "in synch" with current demands for Pop Culture, specifically in the area of entertainment. His creativity and passion was shaped in part by walking away from a successful TV/Film career to use his "eye for what the customer wants" to bring compelling entertainment for Pop Culture to enjoy.
