Richard Nicholas Emerson

Richard Nicholas Emerson, also known as Richard 'Rocket' Emerson or Rocket, is an English musician, writer and actor. He trained at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York, and started his acting career in 2024 after years fronting the British band Pint Shot Riot and building a multi-store vintage fashion business. Emerson started out working in a menswear shop in Coventry, writing songs in the back room while navigating a world of loyalty, tension, and survival - an experience that now forms the backbone of a grounded feature film he has in development. He brings raw emotional access, lived-in presence, and a deep instinct for character to stories with truth, grit, and humanity.
