Rich Evans

Background

Ricardo “Richie Rich” Evans is an American Oscar-winning Hollywood actor and a member of Red Letter Media. He is best known for his role in the Academy Award-winning film “Space Cop.” The star has kept a good chunk of details about his private life away from the public. He started making independent films with his old friend Mike Stoklasa, who wanted to do more than just make films and created Red Letter Media, a film and production company he founded and operated in 2004. He later partnered with Jay Bauman to propel the Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based company to where it is today. The company was recognized when its review of “Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace” went viral in 2009. Stoklasa and Evans collaborated on the earliest version of what is now popularly known as Red Letter Media’s Plinkett Reviews (2008).

Rich’s first experience with screen content was at age 34 when he compiled a documentary titled “The People vs. George Lucas” in 2010. Even though he is not actively involved in the operations of the company and in making essential company decisions, Rich has been very loyal to Red Letter Media. He starred in their movies “Gorilla Interrupted” in 2003, “Feeding Frenzy” in 2010, and “Space Cop” in 2016. Evans portrayed the title character in this science fiction action comedy film directed, produced, and edited by Jay Bauman and Mike Stoklasa, and written by Stoklasa. The film features other talents such as Stoklasa himself, Jocelyn Ridgely, and Bauman. The film was in production since 2008 for at least seven years and was released on January 12, 2016, on Blu-ray, and on January 30, 2016, on digital download. Evans also appears in various Red Letter Media YouTube shows like “Half in the Bag” in 2011, “Best of the Worst “in 2013, and “re: View” in 2016. He co-hosts a gaming channel called “Previously Recorded,” which began in 2014 with Jack Packard. He has also starred in “Oranges: Revenge of the Eggplant” released in 2004, “Too Loud” (a T.V. series lasting from 2017 to 2019), “The End Is Nigh” in 2017, and dozens of others.
