Funny, sweet stories about life in rural America.

"Rick is a modern day Will Rogers"- The Second City producer, Joyce Sloane
Slice of Pie
Rick is probably best known as an actor with roles on shows like Seinfeld, 24, Curb Your Enthusiasm, NCIS and K.C. Undercover. But one of his favorite things to do is story telling. Slice of Pie is a live recording of his favorite funny and touching original stories, based on interesting characters Rick grew up with in rural central Illinois. Rick adapted one of the stories from the CD into a short film, also titled Slice of Pie, which won awards at many independent film festivals.
His one man show, Pigboy, was his first effort as a story writer/performer. Pigboy toured the mid-west with extended runs in Chicago and Los Angeles. It was chosen by HBO for the Aspen Comedy Festival, where it received glowing reviews from The New York Times, L.A. Times, and Chicago Tribune.
