- Born in Surrey, Richard Reeves grew up in West Sussex. Educated at Winchester College, Richard worked in repertory theatre in Cheltenham, Cambridge and Bexhill. He then appeared in productions for Southern Television, BBC Tv, London Weekend Tv and Thames Tv. Due to his particularly youthful looks he was always cast in juvenile parts such as the boy soldier who captured Tom Baker's Dr Who in Genesis of The Daleks, the military cadet who won Diana Rigg in a lottery in Entrance Fee and Hannah Gordon's son who died for England in the Upstairs Downstairs episode Facing Fearful Odds. He also played the lead in Expulsion, a programme on illegal drug use in schools. Directed by Roger Mills , it was the first ever drama-documentary shown on BBC Tv. Richard left show business in 1980 to work in the pharmaceutical industry.
