Brett Rickaby is a recognizable actor from film, television and the stage. He has
worked with, and learned from
many of the best directors in the entertainment business,
including: Wes Craven, David Fincher, David Semel,
Paul Sorvino, Emilio Estevez,
Nicholas Hytner, Tony Kushner, Rodrigo Garcia and Peter Werner.
Rickaby has worked in a dozen films, from small indies to major studio pictures. He has had a strong presence
on over 20 network television series and has starred in many off-Broadway plays, in prestigious New York
venues, and starred in a national tour
of a Broadway musical.
In addition to his acting career, Rickaby has been writing and producing plays, and films over the past 10
years. He recently adapted one of his plays into a screenplay,
and has attached six ‘star names’ to the script,
THE BOOK OF MATTHEW, which he
will direct, and is currently in the process of producing.
Because of his writing skills, acting knowledge, extensive experience, and overall vision as an artist, Rickaby
soon found himself behind the camera, directing short films he had written for himself and for other notable
actors. To date, he has written over a dozen shorts, several pilots, and has produced and directed many of
his own films. His
expertise coupled with innovations in technology, and an identified, growing need for
marketable, inexpensive, quality productions lead Rickaby to create Oracle Filmworks (www.oraclefilmworks.com).
Rickaby holds an M.F.A. from NYU. He is Co-founder of The Collective, a
group of West Coast NYU Graduate Acting Alumni dedicated to developing new
material and exercising collective creativity through labs and
workshops.
His own acting
ability has been awarded on numerous occasions. Rickaby also works as an acting teacher
at the David Kagen School of Film Acting, when not acting, writing, directing or producing.
He makes his home in Los Angeles.
