Tool and Die/), as well as outstanding work in films such as /Dreamer/ and /Take One/, Richard was also a fierce AIDS activist -- long before it was "popular" among fellow performers, much less anyplace else -- and a perceptive writer, whether he was composing essays or erotica. I was first exposed to Richard's brilliance in/ L.A.Tool and Die/. With a single glance -- and the charming delivery of a response that begins, "You better believe it..." -- he won my respect. When I found that his offscreen material revealed a man even more loving and giving than his acting suggests, I knew my admiration would last a lifetime. "So, *that's* what those things are for!" *Name*: *Richard Locke* (Yes, that's his real name, and he always used it with pride!) *Lifespan*: 1941-1996 *Height*: 6'2" *Weight*: 200 pounds *Eye Color*: Brown *Hair Color*: Dark Brown, with unabashed Grey and Silver streaks *Distinguishing Marks*: Butterfly tattoo (on his right hip) *Starred in*:

I want to share my love with everybody, and share myself with everybody. But I don't want to be on a pedestal. I want people to know I'm a real person." *Search for* (or add to) info on Richard at the Internet Movie Database *Enjoy*: Photos, articles, and personal remembrance of some classic films here. *Browse* a memoriam of performers here . karahio@yahoo.com .
