119 - Richard Trotter - From the Playing Field to the Film Set...

Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Richard Trotter
spent his childhood and early adult years immersed in sports. ️️
He played baseball at college level and competed professionally
in golf before shifting his focus to acting almost five years
ago.





Today, Richard loves the variety that acting offers and the
opportunity to step into completely different characters. For
him, being well prepared is just as important as creating an
environment in which everyone on set feels comfortable and
respected. He also believes that certain characters deserve a
little more background story to make their actions, emotions, and
development truly believable.





Richard values open and honest feedback about his performances
because, in his eyes, it is the only way to keep learning,
improving, and growing as an actor.





Of course, we also take a closer look at the audience’s
perspective: How does the audience feel about AI-generated
Verticals and characters? What does a story need to truly pull
viewers in and keep them emotionally invested? And what can feel
particularly weird or unrealistic—especially when it comes to
sports or cooking Verticals? ️





A wonderfully honest conversation about sports, passion,
emotions, personal growth, and the little details that can
make—or break—a story.


Tune in and enjoy!
