The man at left with the warm and infectious smile is Richard Burgi. Born and raised in and around Montclair, New Jersey, Richard now makes his home in Southern California. He's a talented and compelling actor with an extensive and varied filmography in television and film. Richard has been working steadily in television and film since the latter half of the 1980's, when he landed his first full-time role on NBC's Another World, playing Chad Rollo. Since then he has gone on to guest on and star in a variety of television dramas -- Nip/Tuck, Reaper, 24, Desperate Housewives, Point Pleasant, Las Vegas, CSI, The District, Judging Amy, The Sentinel, and One West Waikiki being some of the more prominent -- and sitcoms, such as Just Shoot Me, Action, Seinfeld, Who's The Boss, Love & War, and Anything But Love. Movie roles include both film and television -- "Friday the 13th," "Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage," "Hostel: Part II," "In God's Country," "Fun with Dick and Jane," "In Her Shoes," "Cellular," "Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation," "Decoys," "Torn Apart," "Darklight," "Wheelmen," and "I Married a Monster." Thus far, 2009 has been fairly quiet from the standpoint of new projects, with only a new episode of "Desperate Housewives" on the books -- "A Spark. To Pierce the Dark," which premieres on March 22nd. That said, 2009 has not been without new and exciting appearances, as several 2008 projects did not premiere until this year. "Knight to King's Pawn," the twelfth episode of NBC's reborn "Knight Rider" series, premiered in January, with Richard playing "bad-ass NSA commander" Jack Hurst. The episode was filmed in October 2008 with much of Richard's work shooting in Hawaii. The Platinum Dunes rebirth of "Friday the 13th" premiered in theaters on Friday, February 13th and promptly shot to the top of that week's Box Office rankings. Richard plays Officer Bracke, the typically ill-fated Lawman of Crystal Lake. The film was shot in late Spring 2008 in and around Austin, TX. February 24th found Richard playing Dr. Logan Taper in "Nip/Tuck's" "Allegra Caldarello," which featured a side of Richard never before seen on television. (The role -- a plastic surgeon with "an extreme sexual compulsion" and a rather obscure paraphilia -- involved rear nudity). The episode was shot in early summer '08 as part of a 22-episode fifth season. His new limited-run series, "Harper's Island," is currently scheduled to premiere on April 9th and run until July 2nd as a 13-week CBS "Mystery Event." The series was filmed in Vancouver, BC, in Fall '08. Richard plays Thomas Wellington, father of bride-to-be Trish (Katie Cassidy), whose destination wedding turns into a murder mystery. Additional information on Richard's current projects and appearances can be found on our news page. He's a warm and personable man with a wicked and engaging sense of humor and a refreshing outlook on life -- as a devoted family man, an enthusiastic surfer and outdoorsman, and an advocate of environmental protection and preservation. Not surprisingly, these are all factors in the genesis of the Official Richard Burgi Fan Club -- the RBFC. The RBFC was formed to support the career of Richard Burgi; this website serves a similar purpose. It is intended to provide long-time admirers with frequently updated information on Richard's projects and appearances while introducing him to newcomers in a comprehensive, interesting and informative manner. One thing the RBFC intends not to do is take itself too seriously; at his first official meeting with the Club founders, Richard smiled and said "I'm flattered, but I find this fan club idea sort of bizarre." Quite. Ladies and Gentlemen: This is not your typical star... ...and this is not your typical fan club. So come in and look around. If you're a return visitor, welcome back!
