Richard Herd has one of the most recognizable faces to movie fans and Sci-Fi Television fans alike. His more than 50-year career began in the theater in Boston while he was in high school, and quickly moved to the screen. He prides himself on taking roles that are primarily character-driven. It would be difficult to list all his credits in this space, his career is so prolific. IMDB lists 58 movies and 76 TV appearances, and those are only the most notable. He still does theater, his first love, as much as possible. We would remember him most for his recurring portrayal of Admiral Owen Paris on Star Trek: Voyager, his memorable Klingon role as L'Kor in Star Trek: Next Generation, and as John, the Supreme Commander on the Mini-series V.
Richard is also well known to television viewers as Mr. Wilhelm, George's boss on Seinfeld for which he received a Screen Actors Guild Award. He recurred as Admiral William Noyce on SeaQuest DSV, Ethan Calloway on Pacific Blue. He was a series regular on T.J. Hooker as Captain Dennis Sheridan. He has guest starred on: The Gift of Love with Andy Griffith, Fall from Grace with Kevin Spacey, Ike, The War Years with Robert Duval, Favorite Son with Robert Loggia, A Case For Life with Valerie Bertinelli, Shattered Mind with Heather Locklear, Journey Of The Heart, with Cybil Shepherd and on Masterpiece Theatre's Song Of The Lark with Maxmilian Schell.
Other television appearances include: Jag, Caroline in the City, Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Fugitive, ER, Buffy, The Vampire Slayer, Diagnosis Murder and numerous others. His film credits include: The China Syndrome, All the President's Men, F.I.S.T., The Onion Field, Summer Rental, Sgt. Bilko, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil directed by Clint Eastwood, and Checkers. Theatrical credits include the New York productions of Electra, Harlequinade, 20 Poems and The Coach With The Six Insides which he co-produced and for which he earned Vernon Rice and Obie Awards.

His one man show, Cecil B. De Mille Presents premiered in Denver. His voice is heard in the Dreamworks animated feature Joseph as Joseph's father, Jacob.
As a poet, Richard received the Wilkins award at the Santa Barbara Writers Conference. He was published in the spring edition of On the Bus. As an artist, his paintings have been shown at the Lankershim Art Gallery in North Hollywood, at the Pier Gallery in Oxnard, and the Avo Gallery in Pomona. Both his poetry and prints of his artwork are available for sale online at his website: http://www.richardherd.com. He shares his life with wife, Patricia, and two grown children. A busy man but a happy performer, Richard Herd is not only one of the hardest working people in show business, but also one of the nicest. We are proud to have him with us.
