Richard Harrington, yeah, that’s the guy—born March 12, 1975, in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. Not exactly Hollywood, but hey, everybody starts somewhere. This dude’s bounced around all sorts of roles, but most people probably clocked him first in Hinterland. That show’s all moody, soaked in rain, full of brooding landscapes and even broodier detectives. Harrington totally nails that role, like he’s got the whole “I’ve got secrets and I’m not telling” thing down pat. But he didn’t just stop there. Jump over to The Crown—yeah, the one with all the royal drama and fancy hats. Harrington pops up, sliding into the world of British royalty, and honestly, he fits right in. You’d think he’d been hanging around palaces his whole life, even though he’s more valleys than velvet. Oh, and then there’s Poldark. Seriously, if you’re into period pieces with wild hair, windswept cliffs, and people making life way harder than it has to be, you’ve probably seen him there too. The guy’s got range, bouncing from crime drama to historical epic without missing a beat. Plus, he’s not just in front of the camera—he writes, too, which is a bit rare in that world. Not every actor can string a sentence together, let alone a script. So, yeah, Harrington’s one of those actors who keeps showing up in stuff you actually want to watch. Not bad for a kid from South Wales, right?
movies triviannMan, you’d never guess what Richard got up to during the whole Covid mess. With acting gigs totally out the window, the guy actually hopped on his bike and started delivering food for Deliveroo. Yeah, for real. Imagine that—one week you’re memorizing lines, maybe dodging paparazzi, and the next you’re weaving through traffic with a backpack full of takeout, dropping off noodles and burgers at people’s doors. It’s wild how the pandemic flipped everything upside down, right? Richard’s not the only actor who had to hustle in weird ways to pay the bills, but you gotta admit, there’s something kinda cool about a dude who just rolls up his sleeves and gets on with it. No ego, just making it work. If nothing else, it’s a reminder that even the folks you see on screen can end up grinding like the rest of us when the world goes sideways.
