Rick Copp

Known for: Acting

Born: August 19, 1964 in Bar Harbor, Maine, USA

Rick Copp was two years out of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts when he was tapped at 24 years old to become a staff writer on the enormously popular NBC sitcom The Golden Girls in 1988. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity, especially for a boy from Bar Harbor, Maine, who grew up dreaming of living underneath the famous Hollywood sign, a dream that became a reality soon after his arrival in Los Angeles. He spent the next fifteen years writing for a wide variety of feature films, television series and animated shows, even occasionally acting in some episodes.
