Rick Haymes was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma and graduated high school in Marshfield, Missouri. Rick attended Missouri State University in Springfield, where, along with the likes of Don S. Davis, John Goodman, Kyle Dean Massey and Kathleen Turner he graduated with a B.S. degree in Speech and Theater.
After college he worked as a professional musician, served in the U S Navy in Viet Nam and then became an executive with a major pharmaceutical company. Rick continues to consult and speak in the areas of leadership, teamwork and sales.
Rick began acting in 2008 and since then has appeared in nine feature films and and over thirty short films. He has received seven best actor awards in two different multi-award winning films. Acting as a second career is well underway and he looks forward to many opportunities to entertain and delight audiences around the world.
Unique traits: My recovery from oral cancer surgery followed by radiation is going well and I have resumed my life and thankful for the love and support from my family and friends. Consequently, I still have a distinct speech pattern that I think can be a defining and memorable condition for any character.. I present a unique look and sound.
