About Me

THE ACCIDENT OF BECOMING LENNON: For many years Richard has been teased about looking like Lennon. One day he was offered an advert for look-a-likes which read "Look-a-likes wanted as soon as possible". Richard thought that he should apply, only to prove to family and friends that he did not look like Lennon. To his surprise he was contacted at once, with a request for professional photos that later lead to TV appearances and even films!

He was asked often to make surprise appearances, meet and greet & make awards in the style of Lennon. He even helped kick start the Queens jubilee as Lennon :-) He was often quoted saying "I'ts like i've had a dream only someone forgot to wake me up".
Richard is the only Lennon lookalike who has actually played the legends personal guitar. The Vox Phantom prototype organ guitar was given to Lennon at a Beatles show in 1964, valued at £140,000 at a London auction John Lennon used the guitar during the filming of the “Hello Goodbye” video, and, later, George Harrison used the same guitar during the filming of “I Am the Walrus” in an outtake for the Magical Mystery Tour film.
Richard has appeared in BBC Horizons It happened here the story of Lennons life, and the controversial film "The Killing of John Lennon" the story of John's sad unfortunate fate, which gives a deep incite into why it happened. Richard can do many of Johns looks.
These days Richard is working on his own musical carer as well, and since has been offered air play on radio.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Richard has been known to hook up and meet with many creative people on his musical journey as you might have guessed. You would often find Richard at retro happenings such as the Beatles festival on the August Bank Holiday in Liverpool, and has in the past done some Lennon look-a-like charity work at Christmas in Liverpool. He is down to earth in character, just loves life and like to share laughter and happy moments

Richard has a great respect for all the Beatles, and loves their music greatly. He has been influenced by them in his own music. He simply wished to keep the magic of the musical genius alive with his acting and creative ability. John Lennon himself even modeled himself as a look-a-like Buddy Holly in the early days, being influenced by him. John would have I am sure found Richard quite amusing if he had ever met!
Lennon first started his musical career in the Band the Quarrymen before the Beatles. Richard has been fortunate to have met them and the former Beatles manager whom he has had pictures with as well as Paul McCartney's brother. Love of all things musical and the Beatles came first before the double act ever came about.

Richard can be booked directly for film appearances etc or from all good agencies.

Love and Peace all, Rich
