Early Life and Education

Unfortunately, due to his birthplace, there isn’t much that is known about what he used to do in Chegutu as a child, nor is there any information regarding his parents or any siblings. However, it is public knowledge that he grew up on a small family farm, and that he eventually moved to Australia at age 17. It is likely that he matriculated in Zimbabwe as he attended the independent Peterhouse Boys School before changing his country, and he then attended Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in acting in 2004. It is not yet known when exactly he took an interest in acting, as the star hasn’t disclosed this information.

Career

Before his first role, Rick worked at an underground bar in Australia, cleaning, as he’d put it, ‘all sorts of things you don’t wanna be cleaning up’. He landed his first part in the 2004 “Forensic Investigators” as Mal Henshall throughout eight episodes of the show, however, after being cast in his first film role – as Mike Voss in the Australian film entitled “The Bet” – his name finally broke through. After a number of other smaller roles, in 2010 he decided to make his way to the USA and fully pursue an acting career there. In the same year, he co-wrote and starred in as Curtis the short film called “The Elephant in the Room”. Finally, after landing more support roles in various films and TV shows, he played Wes Maxfield in “Vampire Diaries” in 2013, which is a recurring role that remained in the show for 12 episodes. Consequently, as his name gained significantly more popularity, he landed the role of Eddie Thawne as part of the main cast of “The Flash” in 2014; after season one, he was a special guest star in seasons two and three of the show. Even though he did get a few roles after “The Flash”, none of them were significant, but as of mid-2018, he is working on a movie due for release in 2018 – the audience’s reaction remains to be seen.

Additionally, when asked whether he enjoys being the villain in the films and shows he participates in, he said ‘On television, yes. I love playing flawed people and I think that’s so wonderful as an actor. You have to be very empathetic to human beings, even to someone who would kill people. Not that I condone it.’.
