Biography:American leading man Richard Derr made his first film appearances as a 20th Century-Fox contractee in 1941 and 1942. Physically indistinguishable from most others of his ilk, Derr nonetheless was an above-average actor, as he occasionally proved in such films as "When Worlds Collide" (1951). In 1957, Derr was cast as Lamont Cranston in the New Orleans-filmed pilot episode for the TV version of radio's "The Shadow"; the series didn't sell, but the pilot was released theatrically as "Invisible Avenger". Richard Derr spent the 1970s and 1980s as a utility character man in films like "The Drowning Pool" (1975) and "American Gigolo" (1980). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
