MY ACTING REEL
Deaden
The name is Deke Richards, I was born in Australia but raised in Canada. I'm in the film industry, like a blind date, you love it or hate it. I'm an actor first and I've also produced and written.
I enjoy drinking, partying, traveling, the ladies, my work, keeping in shape, hanging with my friends and staying true in general. Talk to me!
"Deke Richards gives an engaging and funny druggie
twist on the trusty sidekick role, and is a fresh and
naturalistic screen presence." - Eric Red
(writer/director The Hitcher, Near Dark, Body Parts, Bad Moon)
"Bad boy Kersey played brilliantly by Deke Richards
put a little bit of the buddy aesthetic that works so well in films like The
Rookie, and Beverly Hills Cop into what is sure to become a cult classic.
The chemistry between Fallon and Richards is awesome!" - Killerfilm.com .com
"Deke Richards was very enjoyable. His acting
alongside John Fallon as his partner was quite nice "– TCW Review
"...his drug-buddy, played by Deke Richards, delivers a good performance." - Mysan.de
"Fallon's co-stars also step up to the plate and
manage to hit (mostly) home runs. Deke Richards as his buddy Kersey
completely sells their camaraderie!" - Fettdog
"Kersey (played by Deke Richards) is hilarious and
had me in stitches throughout!" -
Wheels of Terror
"The film is not only RAW and BRUTAL - it's
unforgiving - a nice change of pace from the cookie cutter action films of
late" - Darren Bousman (Director SAW 2 and SAW 3)
Hanging with the man with the plan John Fallon (Deaden-AITH) and the
great Eric
Red (Body Parts, Bad Moon)

Deke my man! How's it going buddy boy? Been a while. Watcha been up to? Things are going great with "Bittersweet" been shooting a lot of test footage, decided to re-work the script with a friend and it turned out great. First screenplay I've written that I'm 100% happy with. So shooting begins soon, already scouting locations. The bulk of the flick is being shot in NYC. Should be a change from shooting in Jersey.
So what ya been up to on your front, working on any new projects? Does Recon2023 have a US release date? Man I was watching Deaden again. That flick should be shown at film 101 classes on how to make a gritty revenge flick with no budget! True filmmaking and acting at it's finest! How's Johnny been?
