[04 May 11] *** Catch
Richard in "Hot In Cleveland" when the show's third season premieres in
June *** -- Richard plays conjoined twin Timothy (his twin brother
Richard is played by Patrick Fabian).
When Victoria (Wendie Malick) agrees to a blind date with Timothy,
she is unaware of the "two for the price of one" aspects of their evening.
Hilarity doubtlessly ensues.
TV Land's website gives the following description of the show:
"Hot in Cleveland revolves around three fabulous L.A. women of a certain
age who are best friends (Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick).
Their lives are changed forever when their plane -- headed to Paris for
a girls-only celebration -- unexpectedly lands in Cleveland and they soon
rediscover themselves in a new 'promised land'. Loving their new home,
the women find themselves living under one roof and battling the sassy
caretaker (Betty White) of the property they have rented."
TV Guide's William Keck reported on Richard's role in his March
8th "Keck's Exclusives" column, saying in part:
"TV Land's Hot in Cleveland has cast former Desperate Housewives actor
Richard Burgi, who played Susan's ex-husband Karl, as one half of conjoined
twin brothers, Timothy and Richard. Burgi will play Timothy, who is set
up on a date with Victoria (Wendie Malick). Victoria is, of course, unaware
that her date is bringing along a little extra baggage."

[04 May 11]*** Richard's new
SyFy film SUPER ERUPTION on schedule for 2011 premiere ***-- Richard
returned to his "Darklight" stomping-grounds in Sofia, Bulgaria in May
2010 to film "Super Eruption" for SyFy. He was joined
by Juliet Aubrey (Helen Cutter of BBC's "Primeval") in the mega-disaster
epic, with Matt Codd ("Epoch," Shark Hunter," "Dragon Dynasty")
at the helm as director.
Set in Yellowstone National Park, "Super Eruption" revolves around
an eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano and inevitable horrific high-stakes
aftermath. Richard plays Yellowstone park ranger Charlie Young,
who teams with Aubrey's vulcanologist Kate to try to save lives.
Production company Marvista gives the following description of
the film:
"Under Yellowstone, America's first national park, lies the Yellowstone
Caldera, a giant hot spot for volcanic activity. What scientists call a
supervolcano. Now after hundreds of thousands of years lying dormant it
threatens to erupt. This eruption could wipe out much of the United States
killing millions. Suddenly, without warning, a small part of the caldera
bursts. Temperatures plummet and the sky fills with dirty, black clouds
of volcanic ash and destructive lightning. Lava erupts from the earth,
boils over the crater rims, and rushes across the country side at speeds
over 100 miles per hour vaporizing forests, animals, and tourists. As the
rest of the caldera puffs and steams and threatens to explode, it's up
to Yellowstone's top scientist and an adrenaline junkie Park Ranger to
halt the erupting caldera. They must plug the lava, as well as stop the
poisonous volcano clouds from spreading before the sky turns black and
the entire world is frozen in a permanent, apocalyptic volcano winter."
Aubrey's Kate appears to be a love interest for Charlie in addition
to her role as vulcanologist. Joining them in the core cast are MyAnna
Buring as Charlie's daughter Claire and Alex Wyndham (ROME)
as Josh, a fellow park ranger.
The film is intended for SyFy's Saturday night movie lineup and while
no SyFy airdate has been announced, the film premiered in the UK several
months ago.

the Marvista website:

Richard plays Jim Ellison, a former Army Ranger now working in his Washington
State hometown as a detective in the Major Crime unit. Ellison is genetically
blessed -- or cursed -- with enhanced senses; sight, hearing, smell, taste,
and touch are all far more acute than the norm. With the aid of graduate
student Blair Sandburg, Jim learns those like him are called Sentinels,
and in ages past, they served as watchmen and protectors of their communities.
More importantly, he learns how to use his senses to his advantage as a
modern-day crime-fighter. |

be sent to him. Though Richard appreciates the goodwill and generosity
those gifts represent, he finds them a little overwhelming. Richard
would be honored if, instead, wellwishers made a donation in his name to
a local children's shelter or literacy program, or to the Pacific
