Rikki was born in the UK attending a former grammar school where he developed a love of acting. Several school plays under his belt, he was set, bitten by the acting bug. After school he took a short 20 year break before getting back in the saddle. Now he added writing and directing to his arsenal and embarked on a transition into on screen work. Although he now has several commercials, voicework, short films, tv shows and feature length movies under his ever increasing belt, theatre remains his passion.
