Richard Bradford obit

Richard Bradford
1934 - 2016

 

 He was not on the list.


Richard Bradford, actor who starred in British television series "Man in a Suitcase," dies at 82. Richard Bradford was born in Conroe, Texas and attended Peacock Military Academy and then Texas A & M on a football scholarship. After injuring himself, he transferred to University of Texas to play baseball. When the pro-ball team he played for folded, he, on a whim, auditioned for "Picnic" and won the lead role. From there, his life was determined. In 1962, he joined the Actor's Studio in New York and acted in his first movie, "The Chase" (1966) with Marlon Brando. From 1967 - 1968, Richard Bradford starred in the British television series, "Man in a Suitcase," a show still aired on British television today. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Richard had a long and critically acclaimed career, playing in over 80 movies and television shows, amongst them "Looking to Get Out" (1982), "Trip to Bountiful" (1985), "Untouchables" (1987), "Little Nikita" (1988), "Milagro Beanfield War" (1988), "Internal Affairs" (1990), "Just the Ticket" (1999), and "Lost City" (2005). Many may remember his scene stealing moment as the Irish cop arguing in an alley with Sean Connery in "Untouchables." Richard cared about the craft to the very depth of his being. He was a source of comfort and love, and friends were always welcomed to his home with barbecued ribs, corn bread, and black-eyed peas. He is survived by his son Richard Bradford III, his longtime partner Millie Perkins, his step-daughters Hedy Hutcheson and Lillie Thom, and four grandchildren.
