Book Riles for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Actor Richard Thomas is renowned for his extraordinary flexibility and moving performances. Since the beginning of his career, he has continuously allied himself with high-quality initiatives, earning him the reputation as a man of integrity. Since both of Thomas' parents were dancers with the famed New York City Ballet and were also the owners of the New York School of Ballet, he was born into a family of exceptional skill. At the age of seven, he made his acting debut on Broadway in "Sunrise at Campobello" as a young Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the age of sixteen, he made his feature film debut in the movie "Winning," which starred Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

Thomas became well-known for his portrayal of John-Boy in the cherished CBS television series "The Waltons." In addition to winning a Motion Picture and TV/Radio Daily award for the most promising new star of the 1973 season, he received an Emmy Award for Outstanding Actor in the role. Since that time, Thomas has worked with ease in both theater and television, taking on a range of roles. He has participated in well-known films including "Roots: The Next Generation," "It," and "Wonder Boys," and he has appeared in more than forty famous television movies.

Thomas has built a solid reputation not just as an actor but also as a director, poet, and educator. He has directed multiple "The Waltons" episodes and debuted as a stage director with "The Red Badge of Courage" at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Thomas has three collections of poetry published, and he delivers speeches at colleges on behalf of the Kennedy Center Educational Program. Also, he sits on the board of The Morris Animal Fund and is the national chairman of the Better Hearing Institute.

Thomas' performances in "Hamlet," "Richard II," and "Richard III" productions on both the east and west coasts have solidified his reputation as one of America's top classical actors..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking Riles to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like Riles in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking Riles or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
Riles's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking Riles for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book Riles, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing Riles. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate Riles booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book Riles for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Riles booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Riles charge for an event. An example fee to book Riles is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Riles agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Riles manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Riles for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Riles agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Riles, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Riles booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Riles, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
