He talks very fast, usually about his love of Ginsters slices and often tries to justify it all as theatre. His 2018 play won an award, with his 2019 (but still touring…) show, Harvey Greenfield is Running Late picking up national acclaim. The feature film version finally went into production in 2021, with Paul once again taking the title role alongside Mr Motivator, Liz Barker (Blue Peter), Norman Lovet (Red Dwarf) and many others.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href=\"https://www.thepaulrichards.com/events\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.thepaulrichards.com/events</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.ibicproductions.co.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.ibicproductions.co.uk/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.teambuildingwithdrums.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.teambuildingwithdrums.com/</a></p><p><a href=\"https://twitter.com/paulrichards30\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/theboyrichards/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you're a fan of the pod, or you've enjoyed a listen or two, and you'd like to show some appreciation, please feel free to donate to my Paypal page: <a href=\"https://paypal.me/irsanismail1?country.x=GB&amp;locale.x=en_GB\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Stay Creative</a></p><p><strong>Any amount is welcome, and if you can't afford to donate, then please tell someone else about the podcast, and give it a 5 star rating.</strong></p><p><strong>Thank you!</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Subscribe now to Don't Think, Act a new podcast for actors by actors where they can have the freedom to talk about their craft, inspirations and acting goals!
