Rick Eager

Jump to

It all started with a missed opportunity. Rick was born and grew up in Bay City Michigan. He had a Drama Teacher in High School, who all but begged that class clown to take his class. Evidently, he saw something in Rick that he couldn't see himself. He missed a big opportunity, after later learning his drama teacher ran the stage and theater circuit for three cities. Later in life, Rick was bitten by the acting bug. After watching a lot of movies, and when he got hurt at work, he was off on a medical leave for almost a year. He had to have both shoulders rebuilt. During recovery, he auditioned for a dinner theater, requesting a small role, but wound up with a lead. He enjoyed the part, but had to have a coat draped over his shoulder to hide the sling and bandages. Rick's played a few roles in film and on stage locally. He currently enjoys acting and also screenwriting. He has a portfolio screenplays registered with the WGAw. He's also directed and produced, which seems to be his greater talent, as people tend to naturally gravitate toward him, making him very easy to work with.

You can look into the rear view mirror... but if you stare at it too long... you'll crash and burn! Life's in front of us... not behind us!
If you can't laugh at life... you'll cry!
If I could just bring a little joy and happiness to someone... that would make me smile inside!
