Today, Richard Burgi still acts, but he’s choosy. He showed up recently in “The Orville” as a comedic admiral, and he popped up in “The Cleaning Lady.” He’s like a fine wine—you don’t see him every day, but when you do, you’re delighted. He also does tons of charity work, because of course he does. The man is basically a superhero who only performs for a paycheck when the mood strikes.
So next time you’re browsing Netflix and spot a familiar, smirking face, shout, “That’s Richard Burgi!” Your friends will be impressed. You’ll sound like a pop-culture sage. And secretly, you’ll just be happy to see the guy who made adultery, assassination, and soap-opera melodrama look so effortlessly entertaining. Cheers to the eyebrow. Cheers to the man.
