Richard Daniel Clark "Presidential Inaugural Artist" |
| Richard was mute for the first four years of his life - overcame severe stuttering and was determined to conquer his speech to then spend over 25 years in Broadcast Journalism. He studied basic education and apprentice motor mechanics at Mortlake Public School, Sydney, Australia. He moved to Niagara Falls, Canada with his mother and siblings following his father’s death at an early age later moving to Hollywood.... ...and where the rest is history! |
Richard Daniel Clark - An Australian émigré to America that you would never forget either as the Presidential Inaugural Artist of the
art American Highrise or Mr. Game Show, the sidekick to television game show personality, Bob Eubanks.
For the time that Richard is scheduled to share his testimony, he will leave you wanting to hear more. His humorous west coast way of
talking with the Australian accent will make your special event an unforgettable one.
Listen as he tells of his parents who had a love for sharing the Gospel instrumental in starting churches in Manchuria and Australia. His
father Andrew who studied as an engineer in the Ukraine who with his family later escaped communism and became an Australian Army
Chaplain serving with the Allied Forces in New Guinea during World War II. Stories of his family living with the Japanese during a time of
extreme conditions in Harbin, Manchuria.
Richard takes you through how he talked his way into television and landed a job producing a game show within two weeks of moving to
Los Angeles. He traveled to Las Vegas to produce the show Dealer's Choice where he met several unusual characters. Remember the
Gong Show? Richard starred in and produced the traveling version of the Gong Show for Chuck Barris Productions. What a character!
On a serious note...Richard started a doodle on the back of an American Airlines napkin while flying past Manhattan. That napkin
doodle after 11 years of refinement went on to become a masterpiece eight feet in length and has the honor of marking the 200th
Presidential Inaugural of America. www.americanhighrise.com
