He wants to be an actor on the ‘big screen’
Robert Richard is a theatre student at Sam Houston State University.
“My mom always wanted to be on The Price Is Right, so I went out to California with her last year. They ended up picking me as one of the contestants.
“I had to bid on an Xbox One and games. I knew all the prices because I had worked at Best Buy for three years. Then I had to guess the price for a TV and two leather seats. I knew how much the TV cost because I used to sell those, too, and I also won the chairs. I got to spin the big wheel, but I didn’t make it to the final showcase.
“It was a lot of fun. It was my first time on national TV. I’ve also been an extra, someone in the crowd, on a Gatorade commercial. My goal is to be a film actor. One day I want to walk into a movie theater and see my face up there on the big screen. It’s a really tough business to break into, but I plan to keep working at it as long as I can.”
