Stan Kirsch portrays Richie Ryan, a former street kid from the wrong side of the tracks who is constantly trying to learn how to adapt to life as an Immortal with help from his teacher and friend, Duncan MacLeod.
"Mm .. Mm .. good!" Those were the first words Kirsch uttered on camera in his acting debut at the age of four in a Campbell's Soup commercial. Followed by a brief modeling stint, the New York native took a self-imposed "hiatus" form show business. It would be nearly twenty years before he would return to his chosen profession. While attending Duke University as a political science major, Kirsch rediscovered his passion for acting. Fueled and inspired by a number of teachers, he studied theatre, appeared in and directed numerous plays and performed a season of summer stock at "Horn in the West" in Boone, NC.
Upon graduation, Kirsch returned to New York City to test the "acting" waters. Less than a year later, he was cast in a independent film entitled "Driven To You" which prompted his move to Los Angeles. Once in LA, he landed a role in the ABC-TV pilot "The Streets of Beverly Hills," opposite Brian Keith.
Kirsch had regular roles in such television shows as "General Hospital" and "Riders in the Sky" and guest starred is Courtney Cox's high-school boyfriend on "Friends" and "JAG". He also apppeared in "Home Song," a CBS-TV movie of the week.
Most recently, Kirsch has garnered roles in "The Sky's on Fire," an ABC-TV movie of the week as well as "Shark in a Bottle," an independent film also starring Ben Gazzarra and Danncy Nucci.
Kirsch stills resides in LA, forging ahead with his acting career and soon hopes to be producing and developing his own projects.
