Richman, Charles J. (1870–1940), actor. The Chicagoan made his debut in 1894 and two years later became leading man for Augustin Daly, playing such roles as Orlando and Benedick as well as the heroes of contemporary pieces. Among his subsequent leads were the pacifist Kearney in The Rose of the Rancho (1906), Burton Temple in The Fighting Hope (1908), and the possessive Robert Stafford in Bought and Paid For (1911). In after years he was a fine supporting actor in such plays as Strictly Dishonorable (1930) and Biography (1932).
