The film won "Best Family Film," and "Feature Film Audience Choice" at the Bare Bones International Film Festival, after which the director, Caleb Vetter, said, "The screening went very well and I got great positive feedback from several people after the film!"
I found the shot on the right in an article by Sharon Wilharm. She published it 16 days before casting me as one of the leads in Providence.
The Dove Foundation has given Pawn's Move it's seal of approval with a 5/5 Dove rating, calling it an "inspiring story for all ages."
Here's my audition:
Here are the other roles for which I auditioned:
Frank
Conrad
Guy
Baracaldo
Awesome job Rich! Great accent and very convincing job with both Baracaldo and Guy!
ReplyDeleteSweet. Very impressive range of characters (I've watched four). Wow! I would have liked to hear a bit more of the Spanish one. Or, how about a Spanish, artistic, farming tele-journalist? Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat job . . . and what a range!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your efforts, Rich! I’m sure you’ll do great.
ReplyDeleteIn Christ,
Sam
Nice facial expression; love the accent!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, Rich! I really felt the intensity of each character's situation -- or dilemma, in Guy's case, for instance. Praying you get a role. Blessings, Joyce
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the characters and how well they fit each role. Not sure which was my favorite but Baracaldo's "do" was most memorable visually.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the most versatile actors I've seen. Regardless of the role, you make it real. Even in the space of a minute or less, you create these amazing, believable characters!
ReplyDeleteI loved the videos.
ReplyDeleteI really like you as guy Rich. I feel like you really get into this character and express your emotions well and have great facial expressions.
ReplyDeleteI like Barcaldo the best.....your great Rich.....
ReplyDeleteI also like Baracaldo best! What fun- your accent and mannerisms for him were impressive. It's neat to see a range of characters here.
ReplyDeleteBlessings Rich!
Rich, you are so talented! I am so honored to know you and serve with you in the summers!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work with Frank, I felt like I got a sense of his history with your excerpt!
ReplyDeleteThey're all so fun Rich =) I especially enjoyed Baracaldo's character as it was such a 'different' looking Spanish guy but such a convincing one! Would love see more of him. I was also drawn in by Guy's pain ... Did you work with pre-recorded voices? So clever!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Rich! You are a fantastic actor! ~ Danny
ReplyDeleteRich! Your characters are TOTALLY believable. Didn't once look like you were "acting". Very entertaining but so human as well. Great Job! My favourite was Baracaldo.
ReplyDeleteI love the new Sheriff Character! These online audition clips are INCREDIBLE. I believe you in ANY of the roles. We love the integrity you bring to each character.
ReplyDeleteRich,
ReplyDeleteGreat work, as always! I like the Spanish one....Let us know!! When are you coming back to Pittsburgh? I love the diner guy!! Dallas is so proud!
Rich Swingle obviously IS Sheriff Hanson. His performance made me shiver. What a gifted actor he is. Mac Nelson
ReplyDeleteGreat job with Sheriff Hanson, I could connect with the suspicious nature of him through your performance!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work! I love the look.
ReplyDeleteSheriff Hanson-- any relation to the Hanson's of Minnesota? :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see your work....I enjoyed every audition! I would love to see this movie. How/when will it come out??
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone! It's now available on Netflix and at www.ChristianBook.com.
