Available to hire
Hi, I’m Richard Donin, a Portland-based actor and media professional with decades of experience across film, television, music videos, and live events. I’ve played lead roles, worked as an on-camera extra, produced and managed events, and I bring reliability, creativity, and a friendly, collaborative energy to every project.
When I’m not on set, I share insights as a radio guest and public speaker, and I’ve hosted and emceed concerts and public programs. I’m always on call, ready to help tell compelling stories and connect with audiences.
