J. August Richards Instagram - WE GOT MARRIED, Y’ALL!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️♥️♥️

For my 50th birthday, I wanted to celebrate the places that historically make me who I am: Africa, The Caribbean, Panama and The United States. The theme was carnival — as if all those places had a single, epic event. We played Reggeaton, Afrobeats and Gogo. We served shrimp ‘n grits, oxtails and vegan jambalaya. In the middle of the party, we announced that we were getting married and surprised our guests with a wedding. It was the most magical night of our lives… 

On the exact same night in Nigeria, 67 people were arrested for attending what police say was a gay wedding. It was a reminder that some of the places that made us who we are, don’t always celebrate ALL that we are… Therefore, we want to dedicate our ceremony to the people of the African Diaspora and all around the world living in countries where it is illegal or unsafe to be LGBTQ… While I am grateful to be living in a country where I am able to publicly and legally marry my soulmate, we still have so much work to do to ensure the rights and safety of the entire community and our allies. We are grateful to the activists who came before us and praying for the safe release of the 67 human beings arrested in Nigeria. We thank you deeply for the love and well wishes…

TLDR: @realhenrysimmons, @therealjamespickens and I at @supportblacktheatre Men’s Event this weekend. An amazing time was had by all!!!

It’s always a pleasure to spend time with brothas you respect and admire. Henry and I first worked together on the late, great #StevenBochco series #RaisingTheBar and most recently in Marvel’s #AgentsOfShield. Henry and Jim also worked together on the Steven Bochco series #NYPDBlue where Jim’s character essentially introduced Henry’s character to the show. Then, I played Jim’s character, Dr. Richard Weber, on #GreysAnatomy as a young man in flashbacks to the 1980’s. Building community with all the guys in attendance is always an honor… #SupportBlackTheatre
J. August Richards Instagram - An inside look at gay marriage… HAPPY #PRIDE EVERYONE!!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🌈🌈🌈

{Sidebar: I never knew this wonderous place existed until 2 months ago… I love it here!!! 😂😂😂}
J. August Richards Instagram - I’ve always loved these pictures of @tarajiphenson and I!!! We went to an event with our beloved, mutual friend, Tamara “Gingir” Curry (3rd pic, may she rest in peace🙏🏾), and when we got to the red carpet, she grabbed me and said something to the affect of, “Let’s give them something to talk about!” That’s why we appear so cozy… 😂😂😂 

However, my fondest memory of her is one night in my apartment, a group of actors were hanging out talking about the business. One in particular kept saying how impossible it is to succeed. As if trying to block out the negative vibes, Taraji closed her eyes and held a single finger in the air as she kept saying repeatedly, “All it takes is one yes. All it takes is one yes. All it takes is one yes…” When Taraji moved to LA it was like a lightning bolt had arrived with a suitcase and a small child. Her talent, optimism and sheer will were striking to me and everyone she came in contact with. I pray nothing ever takes that away… Much Love to you, Taraji! 

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

J. August Richards Instagram - If this is true, this is the saddest thing I’ve read regarding our ongoing negotiations… #writersstrike #wgastrong #sagaftra #sagaftrastrike @deadline
J. August Richards Instagram - At it again with the #WGA!!! We did it once, we’ll do it again… Writing is the most difficult and important part of the process. Here’s why: Everyone has a great idea for a TV show or a movie until it’s time to put it on paper! If the writers can’t make a living wage, the whole industry suffers! Let’s go #WGA!!! #WGAStrong

J. August Richards Instagram - The strike has given me the opportunity to do something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time…TEACH!!! If you’ve been following me, you know I’ve been threatening to do this for a while now and here it is!!!… Get a sneak peak at my new course, “Being a Series Regular” at www.beingaseriesregular.com [Link in bio]!!! This is a real #bucketlist moment for me… #actorlife #acting #theatreschool
J. August Richards Instagram - In my course, “Being a Series Regular,” I tell a story about a Vice President of Casting at a major studio saying, “you’re critiquing the acting. Whereas I am critiquing the actor.” In television, they are casting the person as much as the talent. That’s why casting is truly an art form! They take you in holistically and figure out if you naturally exude the energy (as well as the talent) needed for a specific role. Therefore, it is important to have an idea of how you are perceived. That way, you can lean into it, play against it or consciously make the choice to try to shift the perception. If you’d like to learn more, check out my course at www.beingaseriesregular.com [link in bio].

Special thanks to @theamyacker for sharing her wisdom and insights with me on my live…♥️
J. August Richards Instagram - Join me and the one and only @theamyacker live Monday, November 20th at 4PM PST right here on Instagram!!!

See you in class!!! #actorlife #actorlifestyle #theatreschool
J. August Richards Instagram - Had an absolute BLAST talking about “Being a Series Regular” with @thelastactingstudio…  If you’re looking for somewhere to study, this may be a place for you!!! My brotha, @deseanterry, is an instructor and his thoughts and ideas about the work are fresh, liberating and exciting!!! For more info about the studio, visit their page at @thelastactingstudio and for more information about my course, “Being a Series Regular” hit the link in my bio… Much Love, everybody!!! #beingaseriesregular
J. August Richards Instagram - Congratulations to my friends in the casting community!!! It’s about damn time!!! Casting is an art form and deserves to be recognized. Shout out to Marion Dougherty who would be so proud… 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
J. August Richards Instagram - The definition of irony is me leaving the theatre after watching @americanfictionmovie, which I found to be fresh, intelligent, hilarious, excellently written and beautifully directed by @cordjefferson, when I overhear a white woman saying she thought the movie was “silly” and “made for white people.” Since she was right behind me in the line waiting to get validated, I inserted myself in her conversation and said, “not at all…” She said, “you didn’t think it was made for white people?” I replied, “absolutely not!” You will have to see the movie to understand how ironic the conversation was, but this is one of my favorite films of the year so far! The cast was superb and the music by @laurakarpman was out of this world! And sidebar: seeing my old neighbor @sterlingkbrown kissing on menz was not something I knew I needed in my life (apologies to his wife @ryanmichelleb). As far as the whole “straight actor/gay role” debate is concerned, I APPROVE! 😂😂😂 In all seriousness, it was nice to see him in the Angelina Jolie/Girl, Interrupted role (aka the wild child) which he executed wonderfully. @jfreewright ate per usual. @erikaalexanderthegreat as the love interest…nice piece of casting and @traceeellisross’ post @blackishabc film career is 🔥🔥🔥!!! Shout out to the DP, #ChristinaDunlap, who deserves her 10’s!!! Haven’t done one of these in a while: #reviewsbyjaugust
J. August Richards Instagram - It’s only Saturday and a few people have already finished my course, “Being a Series Regular.” A few of the messages really moved me… With their permission, I’ll be sharing them on Monday! So HAPPY!!! Check it out at www.beingaseriesregular.com
J. August Richards Instagram - One of my goals for “Being a Series Regular” is to empower actors financially. Conventional “wisdom” tells you have to live a certain lifestyle or hire a particular team when the truth is, financial security the real flex!!! I’ve watched too many actors squander the check to chase a facade… @sarahwaynecallies and I got super real yesterday and I was happy to hear her co-sign everything I say in the course… Enroll at www.beingaseriesregular.com [Link in bio]

J. August Richards - 11.6K Likes - WE GOT MARRIED, Y’ALL!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾♥️♥️♥️

For my 50th birthday, I wanted to celebrate the places that historically make me who I am: Africa, The Caribbean, Panama and The United States. The theme was carnival — as if all those places had a single, epic event. We played Reggeaton, Afrobeats and Gogo. We served shrimp ‘n grits, oxtails and vegan jambalaya. In the middle of the party, we announced that we were getting married and surprised our guests with a wedding. It was the most magical night of our lives… 

On the exact same night in Nigeria, 67 people were arrested for attending what police say was a gay wedding. It was a reminder that some of the places that made us who we are, don’t always celebrate ALL that we are… Therefore, we want to dedicate our ceremony to the people of the African Diaspora and all around the world living in countries where it is illegal or unsafe to be LGBTQ… While I am grateful to be living in a country where I am able to publicly and legally marry my soulmate, we still have so much work to do to ensure the rights and safety of the entire community and our allies. We are grateful to the activists who came before us and praying for the safe release of the 67 human beings arrested in Nigeria. We thank you deeply for the love and well wishes…

Signed,

He opened his mouth to say the lines and the script was immediately elevated with his instant authority and captivating presence. I had the immense pleasure of talking shop with him from time to time and will never forget his warmth, his intelligence and great sense of humor. #RestInPower my brotha… 🙏🏾❤️

TLDR: @realhenrysimmons, @therealjamespickens and I at @supportblacktheatre Men’s Event this weekend. An amazing time was had by all!!!

It’s always a pleasure to spend time with brothas you respect and admire. Henry and I first worked together on the late, great #StevenBochco series #RaisingTheBar and most recently in Marvel’s #AgentsOfShield. Henry and Jim also worked together on the Steven Bochco series #NYPDBlue where Jim’s character essentially introduced Henry’s character to the show. Then, I played Jim’s character, Dr. Richard Weber, on #GreysAnatomy as a young man in flashbacks to the 1980’s. Building community with all the guys in attendance is always an honor… #SupportBlackTheatre

J. August Richards - 1.8K Likes - I’ve always loved these pictures of @tarajiphenson and I!!! We went to an event with our beloved, mutual friend, Tamara “Gingir” Curry (3rd pic, may she rest in peace🙏🏾), and when we got to the red carpet, she grabbed me and said something to the affect of, “Let’s give them something to talk about!” That’s why we appear so cozy… 😂😂😂 

However, my fondest memory of her is one night in my apartment, a group of actors were hanging out talking about the business. One in particular kept saying how impossible it is to succeed. As if trying to block out the negative vibes, Taraji closed her eyes and held a single finger in the air as she kept saying repeatedly, “All it takes is one yes. All it takes is one yes. All it takes is one yes…” When Taraji moved to LA it was like a lightning bolt had arrived with a suitcase and a small child. Her talent, optimism and sheer will were striking to me and everyone she came in contact with. I pray nothing ever takes that away… Much Love to you, Taraji!

J. August Richards - 1.6K Likes - In my course, “Being a Series Regular,” I tell a story about a Vice President of Casting at a major studio saying, “you’re critiquing the acting. Whereas I am critiquing the actor.” In television, they are casting the person as much as the talent. That’s why casting is truly an art form! They take you in holistically and figure out if you naturally exude the energy (as well as the talent) needed for a specific role. Therefore, it is important to have an idea of how you are perceived. That way, you can lean into it, play against it or consciously make the choice to try to shift the perception. If you’d like to learn more, check out my course at www.beingaseriesregular.com [link in bio].

His presence in this city will certainly be missed. Rest in peace, #SamRubin… (And thank you for the introduction, @jaydschwartz.)

J. August Richards - 629 Likes - The definition of irony is me leaving the theatre after watching @americanfictionmovie, which I found to be fresh, intelligent, hilarious, excellently written and beautifully directed by @cordjefferson, when I overhear a white woman saying she thought the movie was “silly” and “made for white people.” Since she was right behind me in the line waiting to get validated, I inserted myself in her conversation and said, “not at all…” She said, “you didn’t think it was made for white people?” I replied, “absolutely not!” You will have to see the movie to understand how ironic the conversation was, but this is one of my favorite films of the year so far! The cast was superb and the music by @laurakarpman was out of this world! And sidebar: seeing my old neighbor @sterlingkbrown kissing on menz was not something I knew I needed in my life (apologies to his wife @ryanmichelleb). As far as the whole “straight actor/gay role” debate is concerned, I APPROVE! 😂😂😂 In all seriousness, it was nice to see him in the Angelina Jolie/Girl, Interrupted role (aka the wild child) which he executed wonderfully. @jfreewright ate per usual. @erikaalexanderthegreat as the love interest…nice piece of casting and @traceeellisross’ post @blackishabc film career is 🔥🔥🔥!!! Shout out to the DP, #ChristinaDunlap, who deserves her 10’s!!! Haven’t done one of these in a while: #reviewsbyjaugust
