Doug Richard is a Florida-based actor and screenwriter whose breakout work, The Choices We Make, is already turning heads for its emotional depth and raw authenticity. A Kansas native with no formal film training, Doug's journey into storytelling didn't begin in a classroom-it began on a desolate two-lane highway, in an RV, where a character showed up in his mind and never left.
That unexpected spark became The Choices We Make, a character-driven drama about second chances, self-discovery, and the defining moments that shape our lives. Doug wrote the role of Maddy with one actress in mind-Katie Holmes-and continues to push tirelessly to get the script into her hands.
Despite being an introvert who once refused to read in front of a classroom, Doug has since stepped in front of the camera with speaking roles in independent films, built a growing IMDb presence, and as of 2025, is actively assembling a team to produce a concept trailer for The Choices We Make.
He's hands-on in every aspect-from trailer planning to casting and location scouting-and his screenplay has already earned recognition as a semifinalist in the Wiki Screenplay Contest and is entered in the 2025 Final Draft Big Break competition.
Doug's writing is grounded, heartfelt, and deeply human-crafted not to chase trends, but to leave a mark. He's not chasing Hollywood. He's chasing a story that won't let him go. And he's just getting started.
