Richard S. Sargent was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Some of his earliest memories are of sitting in front of the TV after school, watching reruns of Chiller Theatre with his mom. You can blame her for his obsession with horror films.

Richard is an award-winning actor, director, producer, playwright, and filmmaker. You can find some of his short plays published on Amazon via Left Coast Publishing. His short film, Meat, described as "torture porn with bacon," was released in the horror anthology World of Death.

Richard has always been interested in creative cooking. Most of his day jobs were in restaurants and on food trucks. After taking a few cooking classes, Richard decided doing it for a living would take all of the fun out of it. So he found a new way to keep cooking fun: The Horror Movie Night Cookbook! When he isn’t doing theater, cooking for his friends, or watching horror films, he is performing with the band he created with his husband, The Green Winter. You can listen to their music on iTunes and Spotify. Follow Richard on Facebook and Instagram to see what’s coming next.
