Actor. Born Richard Allen Burks, he performed in local bands and was an excellent lead guitarist. Although acting was not an occupation he pursued as a career, he got into movies because it was a fun way for him to earn income. He is most notable for his role as Michael Tutman in the comedy-horror film “Blood Diner” (1987) and also appeared in “The Underachievers” (1987). He died in an auto accident at the age of 28 along with his friend and movie producer, Jimmy Maslon. (bio by: John “J-Cat” Griffith)
