Once an overweight comic from Canada, Rick Ducommun slimmed down in the late 1980s and went on to tackle solid co-starring roles in feature films and TV, as well as headline several HBO and other pay-cable specials. Ducommun grew up on a farm, the son of an entrepreneur father with whom he did not get along. Running away from home at age 14, he hitchhiked around the northern U.S., often living in communes, until returning to Canada at age 17, this time to Vancouver. On a dare, Ducommun tried to do stand-up comedy at a Vancouver club. He was not only asked back, but bitten by the show business bug. He began playing clubs in Canada, hosted his own children's show, "ZigZag," and was put on TV by Alan Thicke, who was then hosting a talk show out of Vancouver. When Thicke made his deal to do Thicke of the Night (1983), a late-night talk show from L.A., he brought Ducommun down to be announcer and a performer. When the show flopped, Ducommun began performing at L.A. clubs and acting in sitcoms. He was one of the zany cops on Deloucacia de Polícia (1986) -- a short-lived NBC show, and Mahler on Max Headroom (1987). Ducommun also played small parts in films, beginning with Um Caso Muito Sério (1984) but found himself limited by a frame carrying 426 lb. He slimmed down more than 200 lb., and won the role of Art Weingartner, the dumb lug nosy neighbor to Tom Hanks in Meus Vizinhos são um Terror (1989). Despite good reaction to his work, the film was not a success, and Ducommun found himself mixing live performances in with his occasional film work, including an appearance in Cheque em Branco (1994). HBO did a special with Ducommun in 1989 called Rick Ducommun: Piece of Mind (1989), which was well received, as was the follow-up, "Hit and Run" in 1992. Ducommun frequently hosted pay and cable programs featuring stand-up comedy and was an regular performer on the Comedy Channel, later renamed, Comedy Central.
Rick Dugdale was born in August 1977 in Canada. He is a director and producer, known for Zero Contact (2022), Intrigo: Death of an Author (2018) and Fool's Paradise (2023).
In the second grade (c. 1970), Rick was cast by his homeroom teacher, Mrs. Vicini, to play the King Pumpkin in a musical she wrote about a vegetable garden and how all the vegetables were negatively impacted by the insecticide DDT. And it was this original school musical that started Rick's lifelong journey as an actor... The summer prior to Rick's senior year in High School he was hired by a Pittsburgh-area Dinner Theatre to play Mercutio in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. He was 17 years old, playing Mercutio who was 17 years old, and being paid as an actor! Unfortunately, Rick had to tell his High School football coach that he would be unable to make the first scrimmage of the season under the lights at home because he was acting in a Play. The coach was not very happy and Rick sat the bench his senior year; except for the fact that he was the only one who was able to snap the football back to the punter and that year they punted quite a bit! Rick still lettered in football that year despite his coach's efforts. Rick started acting in community theaters at the age of 12, went on to College to major in Theatrical Performance, and began acting on the stages of various western Pennsylvania theaters. In 2017, Rick organically entered onto the Pittsburgh film industry scene. In 2019, Rick married for the second time to the love of his life and his partner, Stephanie Swift, a Pittsburgh-area actress. Rick has three children; all of them in college right now, so please hire him!
