Photographed 08.March.2010 in the Saint John Theatre Company rehearsal space on Princess Street.
Richard Roy is the subject of one of my favorite portraits, a shot we took for the Saint John Theatre Company's production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest that didn't end up being used for the final poster.
Richard, who is currently preparing for the role of Jim Reston in the play Frost/Nixon, told me he wasn't sure how many Saint John Theatre Company shows he has been in at this point.
"I lost count somewhere around twenty", he said. His first show at Saint John's Imperial Theatre being The Three Musketeers, a show I remember attending as one of the earliest I personally saw at the theatre.
Full disclosure and fair warning, I'm also in the upcoming Frost/Nixon, which opens March 18th at the Imperial Theatre, and I suspect next week's portrait may come from show preparations as well... since that's where I'm spending all my spare time.
