THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
1976

In a promotional video produced by the US Marine Corps, a group of current and former Marines gathers to celebrate the history of the Marine Corps on its 200th anniversary. In one of his earliest roles, Richard plays a young Marine in a series of vignettes that portray the evolution of the Marine Corps from its origin to the present day. Although the Marine Corps Archives dates the video as 1976, it was filmed to commemorate the 200th birthday of the Marine Corps, celebrated on November 10, 1975, and was likely filmed before Richard began his role on General Hospital.
