Pay no attention to the man with the bad hair. - Richard Smith

Richard is an artist/writer/musician (and obvious scifi television enthusiast) living with his wife in Auburn, Alabama. In his free time, he plays Dungeons and Dragons, works on his play or wishes he was back in Ohio. He's been writing (in one form or another) for over 20 years, and was first published in a local newsletter, doing sword and sorcery movie reviews as the "Conor" in "William and Conor Go to the Movies", which went on for five years and ended up being syndicated in 10 more newsletters in 3 countries. He's also a published RPG game writer, has worked as a paid dancer and actor, and once made hand-painted greeting cards for a (not very good) living. Coming late to the whole "electronic journalism/blogosphere" he's still getting his feet under him, but is, at the moment, enjoying himself immensely.

You can check him out at Rick's Rant and Review for an even less serious look at shows in the superhero genre.

He does not, in general, refer to himself in the third person, and finds the habit annoying in others.
