His live action roles include Rockefeller Butts in the short lived Knights of Prosperity, Darnell McDowell in The Cleaner and a police officer in Kevin Smith's Clerks II.

Early life[]

A classically-trained actor and a native of the Bronx, New York, Richardson first gained recognition as one of only eight U.S. high school students selected for the National Foundation for the Arts' "Arts '82" program. As a result of this he earned a scholarship to Syracuse University and a spot on a PBS special directed by the esteemed late John Houseman.

Richardson married his wife Monica in May 2006 and had two children, Anthony and Michael.
