Zusammenfassung & Show Notes

His life almost sounds like a fairytale โœจ. He even married a real (Disney) princess ๐Ÿ‘‘ and together they have three wonderful children.

Richard Sharrah sat down with me for a conversation about his love for acting ๐ŸŽญ, his experiences on set ๐ŸŽฌ, his life, and his plans for the future ๐Ÿš€.

He has taken the Vertical world and its audience by storm ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“ฑ. His trademark in Vertical series? Father roles. As we discovered, not always the loving kind โ€“ for example in โ€œMommy Donโ€™t Cry Daddy Is Sorry.โ€ These roles perfectly showcase Richardโ€™s incredible range as an actor ๐ŸŽญโœจ. One of his personal highlights in 2025 was his first Vertical shoot together with his son Maverick ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐ŸŽฌ โ€“ a very special and meaningful experience for him.

The actor and businessman with an MBA ๐ŸŽ“๐Ÿ’ผ, who until recently was under an exclusive contract with ReelShort, ended that exclusivity in early 2026 to the delight of many fans ๐Ÿ™Œ. Now heโ€™s ready to conquer the entire Vertical world โ€“ including international productions ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŽฅ.

During our conversation, filled with laughter and humor, Richard and I also create a little โ€œTo Do / To Visitโ€ list for 2026 ๐Ÿ“. Besides filming in Europe ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐ŸŽฌ, I invite the half-German actor to visit his homeland again ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช โ€“ maybe for my Soundgarden or for another magical Christmas market tour in winter ๐ŸŽ„โ˜•โœจ.

Even before the recording started ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ, our conversation had already developed a wonderful depth and connection. We talked not only about career and projects, but also about life itself โ€“ about the importance of self-care ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ and the beauty of living in the moment ๐ŸŒ….

Just to be clear: if Richard suddenly shows up with a new tattoo in the near future ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ๐Ÿ˜…, that idea was entirely his. Jessica @jessicasharrah , I take absolutely no responsibility for it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

A wonderful conversation about life ๐Ÿ’ซ, the love of living โค๏ธ, and big visions ๐Ÿš€.

This is definitely an episode you donโ€™t want to miss! ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ
