Richard
Doyle?(Actor)
is an SCR Founding Member, most recently seen in SCR's Outside Mullingar by
John Patrick Shanley and in the 40th anniversary production of A Christmas Carol. In 2021,
he will take on the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol when
productions resume on the Segerstrom Stage. Doyle also was seen in Kings, Rest and The Weir, among more than
200 SCR productions. His other favorites include Holy Days; The
Beard of Avon; You,
Nero; Men's
Singles; Unsuitable
for Adults (U.S. premiere); Playland;
Frankie and Johnny in the
Clair de Lune; The
Crucible; Intimate
Exchanges; Cyrano;
AView from the Bridge; Of Mice and Men; and, from
SCR's Third Step Theatre, The
Tavern by George M. Cohan. Live stage is Doyle's first love, but he
has also kept busy with film and television including a longtime continuing
role as Mr. Gaines on "Cheers" and several roles in "M*A*S*H," as well as Air Force One, Mass Appeal and the
independent feature, Abduction
of Angie (a job he booked on St Patrick's Day, which seems
appropriate to mention). Voice acting brought him face to face with the genesis
of his love for live performance: storytelling. His work as an animation
voiceover actor ranges from "Sky Commanders" and The Chimp Channel, to video and
motion capture, performances in dozens of video games, like "MGS 3" as Big
Boss, to podcasts like "Exeter" and "Solve." A decade ago, Doyle was noticed by
The Pageant of the Masters and tapped to be the live show narrator for this
unique event, where he enjoins the audience to "enjoy the show." Here at SCR,
he likewise hopes that you "Enjoy the Show!" Hisa Takakuwa (Director)helms SCR's Theatre Conservatory and education
