Rick's early life was marked by frequent relocations, commencing in June 1966 with his birth in a Detroit suburb. This marked the beginning of his family's sojourn in the area, which would last until August 1968, when his father accepted a transfer with one of the prominent "Big 3" Auto manufacturers, prompting the family's relocation to England.
The family resided in England for six years, until 1974, when they returned to Michigan, their ancestral home. They remained in Michigan for a further two years, before embarking on another international adventure in August 1977, when they settled in Australia.
Five years later, in 1982, the family made the move back to the United States, this time to California, where Rick completed his high school education. It was during his high school years that Rick's passion for acting was first ignited, as he began to participate in school plays.
Rick's personal life is equally impressive, as he is married to a talented screenwriter whom he met within the entertainment industry. The couple shares two children, and Rick's wife continues to play an integral role in his professional endeavors.
