Biography

Richard O'Brien, a multifaceted English individual, has made a profound impact in the entertainment industry as an actor, television presenter, writer, and theatre performer.

Born Richard Timothy Smith, O'Brien's early life was marked by a significant event in 1951, when his family decided to emigrate from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England to Tauranga, New Zealand.

However, O'Brien's journey took an unexpected turn in 1964, as he relocated back to his birthplace in England. This pivotal moment marked a new chapter in his life, as he embarked on a career as an actor, adopting the stage name Richard O'Brien, which pays homage to his maternal grandmother's surname.
