Richard Sandling is known for Nightshooters (2018), Zapped (2016) and A Fistful of Lead (2018).
At the tender age of two, Richard, who was born in a small village in the Ukraine, migrated with his parents to the USA and settled in Pennsylvania. There, only a year later, he started to train in both the martial arts and bodybuilding, while using small lightweight dumbbells to help strengthen his body. Richard began to excel. In 1999, the family took another bold venture and again risked everything on a move to California in the hopes of a better life. Shortly thereafter, the media started to take a notice to Richard's incredible progress and the remarkable young age at which he was accomplishing this. During these early times of media coverage, Richard met his first manager where he was aptly named Little Hercules, the strongest boy. Headlined as such, Richard started to appear as a guest poser in many bodybuilding shows such as: Mr. Olympia, Night of Champions, Mr. USA, the Emerald Cup, and one of the biggest there is, the Arnold Classic among many others. Worldwide, Richard has been fortunate to inspire children and adults alike. And wanting to use this in the best way possible, Richard, with the help of his new manager Marco Garcia, in March 2005 completed the shooting on a new video program to help kids stay healthy, fit and happy called the Workout Video For Kids.

He also created "Drama Queen", an NBC sitcom for Vanessa Williams, and completed several new spec screenplays with Jon Cryer.

He was one of the original staffers at MTV: Music Television, creating distinctive and award-winning promos, network IDs, show wraps, news segments, marketing videos and documentary programs. After five years there, he established his own successful production company, produced and directed music videos, fashion videos, commercials and on-air promos for many clients including Swatch Watch, MTV, Honda Scooters, Pepsi Cola, Showtime, Lifetime, and perhaps most notably his Clio-winning national commercials for the children's cable TV network, Nickelodeon.

Richard was born in Bethesda, Maryland, the middle of three sons of Edward, a real estate lawyer, and Charlotte, a cable TV and publishing executive. His parents divorced when he was 12. He dropped out of high school but obtained an equivalency diploma. He tried studying at the City College of New York (CCNY) in 1973, but had no interest. After not bothering to show up for finals, he headed to Colorado where he cut firewood and lived a hippie life. He returned to New York in 1975 and started studying acting at CCNY and eventually was accepted into their theater program. He initially disliked acting and studied to be a director. He directed several off-Broadway plays, including "Antigone" with a then just-graduated Angela Bassett in 1983. He also met present wife, Sheila Kelley, during auditions for this play. The two married in 1996. In the mid-1980s, Richard says he conquered his fears and decided to take a stab at acting. He got several TV roles, but he was seen by Steven Spielberg in an episode of the TV drama High Incident (1996). Spielberg then cast him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) and his career has been on an upward climb ever since that has led to his co-starring role in The West Wing (1999).
Born a Texan, Richard lived in all regions of the country before finally settling in California. He grew up around the entertainment industry with his grandfather playing in a bluegrass band and several close friends of the family in country music. At the age of nine, he found himself introducing the host of a live country music show that continued for three years. Bitten by the desire to perform, he pursued drama performing in plays and local TV commercials through his school years. Later, he played Spiderman several times at children's events and hospital functions. He took a long break to get married and take care of his elderly grandparents who raised him until their death and then ended up coming to California. Through the advice of many close friends from TV shows ,"Dallas" and "Walker, Texas Ranger", he once again pursued acting in several short films and background work. In 2020, he wrote his first script, a Western [Shadows Over Sulphur Falls], which has won several awards and is moving toward production. After the success of his first script, he completed two more scripts which have also won awards in many film festivals across the country. He has recently been cast for two upcoming feature films and plans to coordinate between acting and screenwriting.
